Reflection

Overall, I thought this was one of the best projects we have done all semester. I liked the fact that we didn't have to write a paper and have it flow smoothly with the rest of our group members. Having group members made this project better in that we were able to look at our other group members posts and be able to take ideas or go in different directions based on there posts. Working with group members has taught me that communication is highly important and being able to work with others to get a job done is important because that’s something your going to have to do in life. Like Anneliese said, I also enjoyed being able to pick the topic that we wanted to blog about. By doing this it gave us freedom to make this blog personal and blog about something we thought might be interesting or something we weren't quite familiar with. I think the gaming community was an interesting community to choose because I personally am not a gamer so before even starting this project I had my stereotypes of a typical gamer, glasses, a nerd, sitting in front of there computer all day. But by taking the opportunity to get out and explore the gaming community I have learned that not everyone that plays video games is a 'nerd'. This project really helped to open me up to another community outside of my own and break those stereotypes I had. In conclusion, I really enjoyed this project, I thought it was very engaging and one of the best projects we have done all semester.
