Coming into this class I had no prior experience with blogging and very little experience with rhetoric. As a result I had no idea what to expect from either experience. However, as someone who finds it easier to express myself in writing than in speech I became comfortable with blogging. It became a way to share ideas and get feed back outside of the standard classroom discussion. Reading the comments on my post as well as others was probably my favorite part about it. Seeing how peoples thoughts grew and interacted with each others was fascinating. While I still wouldn't consider myself a "blogger" I do love what blogging brought to the class and I'm interested in using it in my own classroom.
Getting a sense for rhetoric and how to talk, discuss, and write about it came to me a lot slower than blogging. I definitely feel it is one of those thing where the more you know the more you realize you don't know.
With that being said I'm surprised at how much I have learned over the course of this class. In the beginning I had no definition for rhetoric and while my definition is constantly changing it's there. I have gained a new understanding of rhetoric and my growth in the field has been eye opening.
