Wow so this is the end of this blog post journey! It’s been a different way to process my learning but honestly this is such an awesome and unique way for me to write! Besides getting behind on my blog posts, this has been a fun experience!
1.) Professionalism: I feel that blog post #3 – The Blend of AI and Writing showed my professionalism. This was one of my posts where I remember looking back at my writing and saying woah! I sound so academic! I feel like I can go back and forth between my academic voice and my informal voice, but this was definitely a piece that I feel held my academic voice. Which the topic probably benefitted from more of an academic voice in my eyes to capture that professionalism about AI in the writing process.
2.) Multimodal design: Definitely blog post #7 – Monarch Zine! Because that was the true capture of a multimodal project to me. I had a lot of fun doing this project! I was happy with the result I got in making my zine! This felt so relaxing to do and less like homework, which is insane! This project really helped me think about important themes I thought were crucial to capture through imagery and words. This was so unique to do compared to standard homework assignments.
3.) Creativity: Blog post #2 – Who am I as a Writer? I had such a fun time creating my literacy collage! It was so cool to deeply think back on all the books and stories and figure out what portrayed me as a reader and a writer. I remember spending a good amount of time putting all the images together. I love a good collage in general, so this definitely held my attention in creativity.
4.) Civic engagement: Blog post #6 - Book Talk for Monarca, and #7 – Monarch Zine! Because these posts helped me connect to bigger issues that happens in the world. Specifically in blog post #6 I was able to reflect on how I can use this topic and information of the book Monarca by Ava Aridjis in my teaching. This had me thinking about how I can get engaged with issues and how I can create conversations with others to get involved and engaged too.
For a late blog post nomination of the “People’s Choice Award” I would like to nominate Ivy’s The Garden. I just love the garden theme and how that intersected through the blog post prompts is awesome!
