Since we had our lesson and tutorial on reflective blogs, I’ve been thinking about how to improve mine, especially considering the importance it has in the creative process and the experience of learning.
My blog had several opportunities of improvement:
- There was no guidance, no introduction of why the blog existed.
- There were interesting post but they were all over the place and it was quite difficult for the reader to find an specifical onformation
- I used pictures or videos but didn’t describe why I was using them and so it seemed random.
- There was no context into why yellow and pink? Why is it Carolina, La Latina?
And so, I took on the recommendation of Elizabeth of printing the blogs and re reading them, understanding also how the Learning Objectives relate to my own creative process and the blogs. Printing them was quite useful since allowed me to read them while also making notes of what I thought of them and also was easy to categorise the information I was talking about.
This whole process took me a day and a half. I also had to send an email to the technicians of MyBlog because I was not sure how to make the introduction to always be on the main page and place on the menus the categories of the different units. At the end It was all worth it. Now, I’m sure I have a very functional blog, categorised and thought to be easier for the reader to navigate it.
From reading my blogs I found very interesting how seeing with a different perspective, since now I’m at the edge of the end, I always had so many ideas but a fear to act. I also think I had many personal and deep reflections. During the summer I read so many books, but I didn’t wrote about them, so that’s something I would have done different.
