reflection

having never experienced blogging before, it was not such a daunting task. i really enjoyed reading people's responses to my article. it was not so fun writing the article. i more enjoyed researching and reading other people's blogs. i found marlo's research on personality types and online learning very interesting. it was neat to know that master design students are wired differently than the majority of other student. i thought that to make her research more valid she will need to increase her sample size. also, one thing she has not tapped into yet is the motivation behind personailties to do things. this is also intriguing because i never felt compelled to post or respond... it was simply a task to complete. it would be interesting to me if she found some sort of way to make people like me want to keep a blog. i dont even have an idea to how she could do that. i kind of think it's just the way we are. someone could force me to keep a diary or a journal, but i would never do it on my own accord. i see the benefits, of online exposure and group brainstorming and sharing ideas, it just looses that tangibility factor that classrooms and meetings hold. i sincerely hope ms. ransdell the best in her upcoming research and hope she finds a successful server!
