I found being the class blogger to be a very stressful task. I tried to focus on the important concepts that we were talking about in class but also found it important to summarize how we got the results that we did. When I was blogging on Wednesday, we were discussing how we wanted to compose our rubric for our Digital-Media History paper. Although I could have taken the easy way out and simply posted the final rubric on my blog, I decided it was important to document the thinking process we took to come up with this final product. I also tried to help the class by including links to all the pages we were talking about in class. That way I could keep everything organized so that when people went to refer to the site in which I was talking about, it was right there. I also focused on trying to make the information we were talking about as clear as possible so that there was no confusion.
Occupying the role of "class blogger" was a challenge for me. It typically takes me awhile to process information and then take notes on the most important parts. I had trouble keeping up with everything that was going on and found it to be stressful because I wanted to take the best and most detailed notes that I could to help my classmates. Being the "class blogger" I realized that a lot goes on in class from day to day. We go through a lot of information that a lot of times I don't even pick up on. For this reason, I think it is a good idea to have a set of eyes and ears in the classroom to take notes on those things that often times I miss.
