Hi everyone,

This is the last blog post for WGSS 320 and I am very excited to share all I have learned. First off, I have never created and successfully ran a blog before. I always thought blogging was something for creative thinkers and people who love writing and I found that I actually really enjoy it. It was a surprise to me that this class included such extensive blogging work. It was a nice surprise because I found to really benefit from reading over my posts and being able to edit and get feedback from my peers about my projects.

Another important think I learned was all the information about women in technology. I know it sounds ironic because that is the name of this course, but I actually feel like I have mastered enough current information to teach my own class on this. I was very thankful to have learned the skills of citations in APA formatting. Never have I had a teacher require that and I am glad to now have experience in citing with it. Another skill I enjoyed learning was how to hyperlink my sources in my writing. It is so handy to have the information readily available when referring back to the original source.

I am very thankful to my friend who recommended this class. I usually do not take online courses simply because I am an in-person learner. I think that this class changed my opinion and made me realize that I do learn just fine with online classes and I know I will be able to take more in the future.

I hope you all enjoyed my first blogging experience and I look forwards to showing you all more about what I learn in the future.

Happy Summer,

M. Simich
