There have been a couple of things that I learned while this class, some new and some only additions to previous knowledge. I think one of the biggest, though, was that I finally found out what I'm like as a writer. I tend to leave open-ended questions or make comments that force people to think of the content in different ways. I also tend to go to strange places when given creative freedom in my writing. In regards to digital writing, I found out that I like blogging a lot more than I originally thought I would. I might try to keep up my own blog that pertains to my hobbies, but I'm not sure if I'll have the time to do so, or the commitment to stay on top of it.
There were definitely some things that I learned or were introduced to that I would like to try in a classroom, like Class Dojo and that online quiz game that I cannot remember the name of. I think students will appreciate not having to lug around physical papers in my class, as I'll have all papers submitted online for grading and commenting. To me, it's a much better way to organize a class that involves quite a bit of writing and helps to keep everything in one spot that can be accessed at any time.
I can definitely say that my biggest challenge this semester was staying on top of the writing assignments. I did not turn everything in when it was due and I appreciate the patience of the professor in this regard. On the other hand, I do feel like my biggest successes came in the form of my writing demo. I felt like I did a good job on that and everyone seemed to respond well. Overall, it's been a pretty good semester and I appreciate all of the help that everyone has offered!
