Blog=Creativity

I think the blog was an essential part of the management class because it allowed people who are unable to get a chance to speak or those who don't like to speak in front of others a chance to let people know how they feel about certain topics. I think that the blog being 20% of the grade is also something good because it is a way for us to utilize management skills;with the due dates and responses to other individuals by a certain date. Also putting together a portfolio is a way of showing our organizing skills which is a great thing to learn if one plans on managing one day. This blog helped me learn a lot about my fellow students and how they thought on a number of topics. It was very helpful in learning what type of people reside in the classroom with me. I think that people were also less constrained in what they had to say when they were able to express their own feelings through their blog, there was no one there to judge them or restrict what they were saying and that's the best part of the whole thing. I think that the blog was a very creative idea for the class because even though there was topics assigned, you were still able to take your idea where you wanted to and add as many photos to make it your own style and twist. For the most part, i believe the blog should remain for other semesters because some of these classrooms are so big that some people don't feel the close interaction that they would like. However, through the blog it can help them let everyone including the professor know how they feel.
