Last Blog

For this being the last blog and asking if I will continue to blog more than likely my answer would be no blogging. At my older age blogging is not part of my lifestyle. I do not think to blog or even be on social media websites for that matter. I have nothing against social media websites except I think some people use it for the wrong reasons.  For those who like blogging good for you. I was just not into doing blogging. It was fun and a way to express your thoughts and feelings on issues. I will say some feedback comments were very helpful. Actually some comments helped with getting through the week. I will say a couple of classmates who provided comments are very nice. I do wish and hope for the best for them in their futures. For everyone in class I hope you will have a happy and fun filled life in front of you.

I wish I would have just stayed on top of my blogging to ensure a good grade. I think my lack of enthusiasm for blogging was part of the reason I missed some blogging assignments. I would be thinking get your blog completed and posted, then next thing I know were into the next week where I forgot to post. It was also difficult sometimes writing to meet the word quota of 500 words. I did learn how to do embed links for writing. This is something I will say has helped me to start getting back into the new technology to make sure I am able to have some knowledge. A lot has changed since I took computer class. I remember talking about binary codes for basic computer programming. It is all brand new know and I would say this is one thing I can take from the class to use in the future.

I did not see much improvement in my writing skills. This is the only thing I wish we could have had more focus on. I am a person who is long removed from school it would have been nice to refresh and enhance the rules on writing as well as expand on vocabulary skills. This is me telling my age again. I did want to make my writing better but for me I needed my guidance to do that. I did not feel I got this from just writing a blog. The blog is a way to express your thoughts and feelings but not a way to learn or enhance your writing skills. I feel that we as long distance learners are not looked at as people far removed from current technology or education due to the focus is on what the younger generation currently is a part of. Most high school graduates coming into college have this mind set and skill set because this is what they grew up doing. We as the older generations have not dealt with this new way of social media chat so it presents a challenge. School curriculums have changed to be totally different of school education expectations but hey….it is what it is!
