It has taken me a long time to get started on this blog, mostly because I couldn't really decide what to write about. I'm not a great fan of blogging, particularly when I need to write on a specific topic- I'm also very bad at making decisions in general so that doesn't help. I was going to write on a topic like music but thought that writing about new media communication would be much more relevant- and being such a broad topic will allow me to go off on tangents about personal interests (tangents are what I do best). I also plan to do a bit of meta-blogging (I intend for that to mean blogging about blogging, in a similar way that metacognition works with thinking).
I plan to write my posts about topics we have explored in class and look at things such as social networking and video posting referring to the readings and my personal experiences both in and out of class. I'm also going to try and make my blog a bit more interesting by adding pictures, videos, links, etc...if I can. It will be an amazing blogging adventure...
