Prior to me attending RTF 305, I had never, nor had I ever considered using a blog for scholastic or personal reasons. However, after using the blog for my RTF class, I now have a serious desire to continue pursuing blogs. One of the positive aspects of using the blogs in the course was the constant interactivity between the students and the teachers that blogging weekly provided. Additionally, the blogs gave students, especially myself, a reason to keep up with the weekly readings, screenings and slide shows from class-- I would very seldom fall behind on any particular reading or lecture. A difficulty I had on the blog postings was that I felt as though there should have been options to choose from. Every week, the teaching assistant assigned the blog posting, and we were all required to do that one posting. I feel as though in the future, students should get a choice from at least three potential blog topics, all covering the material from class. Personally, I felt that I was often more comfortable with some topics than with others. By giving students the option to choose from several topics, this would not only make the postings easier for the students, but also the students would be more interested in a topic which they have chosen personally. For me the most interesting blog prompt was selecting a film and analyzing it according to the traditional three ac structure. I enjoyed this prompt because I have a love for film, and I was able to analyze one of my favorite flicks in ways that I had never before. I would undoubtedly recommend using a blog in future courses, whether they be RTF or a separate major. I feel as though I have already listed the numerous ways in which I feel as though the blog postings were beneficial to me and my classmates.
Yes, you can use my blog in a paper or report.
