Every me and every you in this blogging community write and share our own points of view on blogs. To me, it's much easier for us interacting people to gain insight, deep knowledge as well as creative thinking than any medium we use for mediation before. The blogging experience has inspired thoughts in me, which can be associated with the nature of new media.

During the time blogging, I play roles in both creator and publisher, realizing the importance of multimodality and hypertext. As a writer, we are supposed to share some thoughts and ideas with audiences. With the problem of encoding and decoding, writers always use certain words to describe an object. This post demonstrates one of my unexpected writing experience. The aid of video in illustrating the meaning of selective attention performs much better than text does. In additional, hypertext also helps enrich my writing experience. From readers' perspective, it is much easier to absorb information on blogs due to the fact that they can obtain further information via hypertext, which would not interrupt the reading process.
We Share and Learn
After one-month blogging, we share our own views and comment on each other, enriching our knowledge on certain issues. Since we closely interact with each other, discussion and exchange of opinions help us to think laterally, taking other's opinions into account. It can be also associated with the concept of remix and mash-up. We may get inspiration or theme from others' blog and then blog our own post. For instances, Emily's blog and mine. Apart from that, commenting on others' posts helps the writer to retrospect himself. For example, I have never thought about the counterfeit of citizen journalism. This kind of interaction boosts the learning process, acting as a great learning platform.

Notes:
1. My comments on my own post can be viewed here and here; on Emily's blog here and here; on Vivian's posts here and here; on Edith's posts here, here and here; Ivan's here and here; and finally Yvonne's one.
2. Emily has made an gorgeous conclusion for our blogging experience.
...journalism (check out Edith's, Ken's and Noc's blog for detailed analysis), video/game production (read Alex's post on how gaming relates to story-writing) and communication theories (see Joanne's defense on online reading).
Indeed, there's no end to learning through blogging, as ideas keep changing. I'm really surprised that we subconsciously write about the same issue in our own interpretations. This is the moment I realize how blogging is helpful in giving perspectives, and improving our quality of work.
ReplyDeleteYea i agree with you about we can write, share and learn. As Emily already said: there is no end to learning through blogging. Everyday we can check on people's blogs and absorb new things, at the same time, we can learn from others and make us think, I believe that it's the amazing part of blogging.
