I picked this course because it goes hand and hand with my major. Last semester I recently chose my major in mass communications and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Even though my concentration is public relations I am also interested in emergent media and I wanted to learn more about it and possibly change my concentration. This course also sparked my interest because now a days everyone is overly attached to their phones and can’t seem to even hold a conversation without picking up their phones (which I am also guilty for) but I wanted to learn about the world’s media. This course is very interesting to me so far, and I like how this course is online because I have only had one other online class and I like how I need to learn my time management with this course to keep up with doing my school work. The discussion posts are neat to see what everyone is interested in doing and why they took this course.
Blogging, is something I have heard of before but I have never quite done it myself. I am excited to begin blogging and use it over the course of this semester. Blogging in general to me can be awesome for people that would like to express their emotion but don’t always know how to. I have read blogs before from fashion and beauty ones and they are always very interesting and heart felt. A lot of the bloggers always try to capture the readers attention and it can be very inspiring to the readers as well. I am intriuged to see what blogging has instore for me this semester and to see if I really enjoy it after this course is over.
