A powerful way to end a course is
to provide my professor an opportunity to have my reflection on the knowledge I
have gained, the skills I’ve developed, and the learning process I’ve
experienced from the course.
At the beginning of the course, I
wasn’t really new to blogging. My skills were not bad at all, but I felt like
they needed some fine-tuning. I was always good at getting information and
laying down a foundation. Alongside that, I’ve always found the technology easy
once I have the grasp. I was glad that I joined a class that needed more detail
about blogging. This class has helped me fix that issue. While I was trying to
be more proficient I was also strengthening my skills in other areas.
Throughout the course, I have completed assignments on time that helped me
collaborated better with my classmates about the nature of lessons we were
having. By taking this class, it increased my knowledge about the diversity of
many cultures in Guam; places that I have never been since I came to Guam;
a church that I never knew existed; and many historical places that I was
never aware of. Now I do! Thanks to my colleagues/CHamoru classmates that shared
their many cultures & values today during our class presentations. One very passionate group! The class spent time with Q & A and Dr. Rivera
was always prompt, to give out the answers. This helped and allowed a better
understanding for the rest of the class including myself.
Just a small part of our final
project that came to my mind that helped me achieve this outcome was my group.
A few of us have little knowledge about the blog, a couple of us are
proficient but there were other things that they were good, it worked out well for
the entire group. As a result of that, our final blog project came out
excellent! The best part is... I made new friends out of the class.
During the course, the class was
asked to reply to the blogs daily and do posting about our daily class. I
kept- up with that and was having a good time responding and blogging away. I
have met all Dr. Rivera’s requirements for the course.

The course ultimately helped me achieve
more by working with different ethnicities through this blog project; engaging
in the collaborative and social aspects during our online class. Such learning
gave me productive feedback to work progressively with my group and the other
group. Dr. Rivera has helped every one of us mostly by allowing us to take a
step back and go over everything. She made us see what we did well, and what we
need to avoid in the future. This way, in future endeavors, the same mistakes
will hopefully not be made. By doing so, no one leaves the class without
knowing what we have learned during the class.
Dr. Rivera is always reminding all
of us about the importance of citing sources so that you do not have any issue
with someone’s work and jeopardize yourself for any lawsuit. She was right,
with the requirements of the course, I need lots of images and therefore, I am
sure to use a lot of sources that needs copyright. Good, advise as always! Happy Blogging everyone!
In conclusion, my heartfelt
appreciation to you, Dr. Matilda N. Rivera, for teaching me more and sharing your great knowledge of
technology, and also to all my classmates especially with my group. Hats Off To You and To all My Classmates!
