I am already putting my blogging skills to work on the GCC Fitness & Wellness website: 4 Reasons to Get Off the Mat. (Look to the Right). Stay tuned for more!In addition to my work at GCC, I will also be expanding my personal/business yoga website to include a Wordpress blog that features topics like: yoga, spirituality, energy, food, marriage and partnership, sexuality, and personal adventures. I will, no doubt, grow and strengthen the voice as a writer and eventually author a book. In addition to writing the blog, I will be looking into ways to expand my audience and get followers so that when my book is finally written, someone might actually buy it.
Some of my favorite blogs from my classmates were personal stories that included pictures and interesting topics from: Bryce and Alex P.
My only wish is that more students would have interacted more in the blogging process. I was looking forward to reading blogs and learning from others, but did not find very many completed content by the due date.
Whether or not I choose to blog on Facebook, Instagram or Wordpress the lessons I learned in our class will carry with me. I have already become more mindful in my posts on social media. I have reached for my smartphone more than once to post something, then thought, "who will care about this post". By leading with this thought, my posts have become less frequent, but "liked" more than before.
Thank you, Chris, for bringing in real-life lessons to our English 101 class. This was a great project that was relevant to today's culture. Which is exactly the experience I was hoping for when I returned to school 20-years later.
Well thank you Serina for the compliment! I really have enjoyed reading your blog and it has been fun getting to know you a little bit of who you are. It has opened my eyes to things I had never thought of. You're style of writing was entertaining, yet informative and was altogether a fun read for me. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Serina! I'll be the first to buy your book! A signed copy please. Lol. It was interesting to see what other classmates wrote about and also get to know them a little better.
ReplyDeleteI noticed since the blogging experience that I too have started making my tweets full of purpose and try to attach a meaning instead of a just once sentence that makes no sense to anyone else but me.
I enjoyed reading your blog and topics you chose, they are very interesting. I have no doubt your social presence will increase.
Great to see the comments (there were some that were into it, right Serina?!).
ReplyDeleteI am very happy to hear the blog project was valuable to you, Serina; that is a major goal of my courses in general. You have a great reflection here. Thank you. Make sure to keep me in the loop as you continue to blog (i.e. send me the URL!). And like Mark, I will totally buy and read your book (don't forget to let me know when you get it published!).
