The blogs were challenging because I couldn't comment on anyone's blog who didn't use blogger, and very few people in the class use it. The blogs were helpful because they were different, and shook things up so it wasn't the same thing over and over again.
Having to write about math instead of just solving a problem caused me to think about it in a whole new way. I needed to have a complete understanding of the concept I was talking about.
This wasn't my first time making a video for a class, but I am definitely not a pro. My group couldn't figure out how to get the video to rotate, so we posted it sideways, but other than that, the YouTube video went pretty well.
This was the first time I took part of a course online, and it went pretty ok. It made the class a little more interesting, but next year, I would have everyone use the same blog website so there are fewer problems with commenting.
I did enjoy looking at other people's pages, but I didn't like commenting because everyone had so many problems trying to do it.

I had the same problems as you with making comments so I agree with what you were saying. Also like you this was my first time doing an online portion of a class and I too found it interesting and helpful.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to hear your struggles about commenting on other peoples blogs, because I use blogger too and didn't have difficutly commenting in people;es' blog, I wonder what the difference was. I agree that writing about math makes you think about it in a completely different way and is helpful. Your reflection is very organized and easy to comprehend.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your ideas about using the same blog for commenting because that was hard for a lot of people. I didn't have any problems commenting even though I use blogger too so that's interesting. I also agree that writing about math gave a different perspective on it which was helpful in relating it to the real world and having these assignments didn't make the class seem repetitive in how it was taught.
ReplyDeleteI also had an issue with commenting on other peoples blogs so I agree with what you are saying about that. Additionally, I agree that having to write about math made me understand it in a different way and was very helpful.
