So far I am absolutely adoring the blogging platform – particularly as one for education – and I’m definitely enjoying the course so far as well. What I’m quickly finding though is that I still have trouble identifying what I want to write about, if anything at all.
Not because I don’t know anything mind you, I’m still in the habit of not writing things down. As somebody who thinks a whoooooooole lot at an incredibly fast pace (I have trouble keeping up with my own mind sometimes!) it’s a challenge in itself to go, “Oh that’s a good idea, I’ll write about that!”.
At that though I have managed to write posts I am quite proud of and already I feel I’m better at curating and articulating singular ideas within the constraints of a primarily text format.
For some future blog posts I’d love to experiment with more creative pieces – perhals short stories – as I’m far too comfortable writing on the fly and I’ve scarcely ever composed anything, rather creating and publishing it in real time.
On a final note I firmly believe in this whole blogging thing in the course. So far it’s bred a more contextual way of thinking which is far more brilliant than simply remembering and regurgitating information for the sake of criteria.
