My favorite blog to read was Carlton Clark's blog.
While reading the different takes on blogging I found a few that I really enjoyed reading. Angelina Karpovich’s blog, “I Blog, Therefore I Am” was my favorite to read. Her blog was a very easy read. She seemed to explain what happens to almost all bloggers. They create a blog for a specific reason, but it always turns out to be a relationship based blog. You find old friends and reconnect with them. Now, your blog goes from being academic to being a recap of the past few years of your life, including a very detailed entry about your present. Karpovich seemed to understand and acknowledge that blogs become very personal.
My favorite blog to read was Carlton Clark’s blog “I Don’t Really Want to go into Personal Things in this Blog”. The style of his blog was a lot more relaxed than the other blogs. It was definitely the easiest blog to read and to truly understand the author’s intentions. Like Karpovich, Clark said that blogs become personal. He seemed very open in his blog, which was good. He demonstrated in his blog how his students really opened his eyes. Teachers should be more personal with their students, it helps us to connect with them better.
Overall, these blogs all sounded the same. The authors didn’t want their blogs to become personal, yet they did,
Hi Stephanie! :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog. Your choice of the reading, "I Blog, Therefore I Am," is one of my favorites too. I agree with everything that you said about that blog because I said the same things! I did not consider Carlton Clark's blog to be one of the easiest to read, but looking over it again, I guess it is. I also agree with your final point of all the other readings sounding the same.
