Reflective

Throughout this period of assignment, there are several important values that I’ve learned that could help me improve in writing and blogging. Blogging can look easy as it seems but there are a techniques and regulations to writing to follow from the design, the content and the layout of the blog itself.

 Karen Marcus (2009) mentioned that the content of the blog is the core to the information therefore; one must practice ethical writing to ensure there is any misleading information. It is taught that we should check our facts and be sure to cite the source of information to ensure the credibility of our writing is proven and also to avoid plagiarism. We should also write accordingly as we alter to different culture so we have to be sure of our language and our choice of words (Rich 2010, p.50).  Martinec and van Leeuwen (2008) did also provide information on how to create an effective and interactive layout for the readers to read.

With all these techniques applied, I have learned blog writing and also create an effective communication tool.
