The factors I think are going to affect my participation and grade in this class would be updating my blog and keeping up with vocabulary and reading because I'll have to have decent time management skills to keep up with my other classes as well. Other things that could affect my participation could be whether I can stay focused and motivated because there will be days where forcing myself to get up and work will be the most difficult challenge of the day. I don't really socialize all that much, but I try to spend time with my family when I can.
The best learning experience I've had would probably be from Tumblr, believe it or not. I don't think learning should just be limited to school. Through Tumblr, I've learned a lot about being accepting and helping others deal with their problems. I was just at home, scrolling through my dashboard. I see a lot of posts trying to promote self esteem and caring about yourself. A lot of the people on Tumblr are inspirational and when I see posts that make people feel better about themselves, it makes me want to do the same to see a smile on someone's face. Tumblr is something I use for when I want to think or be alone because 9 the support that is actually on there. I knew what was happening because I could definitely relate to some of the people and their situations. I could learn about what to do with myself because I saw someone post about it and how they coped with their problems.
In this class, I'm probably most excited about the upcoming blog assignments because we're actually using modern technology to do turn in our school work. I look forward to improving my writing skills; especially through the amount of essays we'll be writing throughout the year. The way I think it will make a practical difference in my life will be that I can be able to express my words better. I'll be able to become more creative and independent with my writing as well.
