Reflection on the Blog Posts

When we were first assigned the blog posts I was very uninterested in them. I thought they were a waste of time and given to us for busy work. I would write them just for the sake of the grade and not really care what the information I was looking up actually was. It was hard choosing a topic that I actually wanted to learn about, but once we were put into groups I instantly loved the topic. The Wildcat Service Dogs and service dogs in general are so fascinating. I actually enjoy doing the research (to an extent). I have learned so much from the 3 blog posts a week. The blog posts are a great idea. Like I said earlier I didn’t understand what the point of doing them was, but now that we are actually starting to get into writing and directing our documentary, they are a great source and easy reference. I don’t need to keep looking up different items to put into the documentary. Everything I have already researched is summed up into a nice little paragraph or two. If I need more information from a specific source, I know where to find it. I can also use my group member’s blog post to retrieve and look for information I didn’t find. Overall I am pretty happy on how the blog posts have helped in terms of research. What I wasn’t a fan of was how repetitive some blog posts got to be. The information I was finding was very similar to other blog posts I had done. It was tough finding new information that wasn’t completely boring. These blog posts will be a big help to me when doing the documentary in the near future.
