Reflections: Blogging Beginnings

2012-01-27T00:14:00.000-08:00

When we first received the syllabus stating that we would have weekly blog assignments, I immediately felt my stomach start to knot. Start writing blogs? Me? I couldn't fathom the idea. I had previously established my Blogger account to follow friends during their study-abroad adventures, but hadn't created my own... until now. Creating a blog was surprisingly simple- all I had to do was log in to my account using my Google account information and then click on the button that read, " New Blog." While creating the blog was simple, deciding on a title for it was impossible. I wanted to find something quirky, something fun, something inoffensive, and the list goes on and on. After finally settling on "My CALL Contemplations," I have determined that blogging is even easy enough for my technologically-inept self to use, and given Blogger's user-friendly interface, I am confident that I could teach students how to use and create their own blogs.
