The journey of a blogger

I could not help but smile as I read my first blog written at the beginning of this semester. New to the blogosphere, I voiced how daunting the writing experience could be. And now, as the semester draws to an end, I find myself somewhat nostalgic when thinking about this learning experience.

Not only have I learned the skill connected to sharing one's thoughts in this online environment, but I appreciate the community that has been comprised of myself and my fellow classmates. Through the blogs and comments, we shared in each other's joy when appointed to a new job, or the discovery of hidden talents, we learned through each other's daily experience of technology and teaching, we experienced each other's pain, frustration and disappointment. And in this environment, so open to anyone to see, we found comfort in the solidarity that this community offered.

I have really enjoyed learning from all of you, my fellow class bloggers, and wish you all the best with your future endeavours. May the integration of technology in our classrooms forever testify of the semester when we reigned as queens of the blogosphere.

And with that, perhaps it's fitting that I end this semester's blog in the same fashion that I started it, with a quote.

"They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel"
