                  Metacognitive Analysis

In this project of creating a blog there has many good and bad experiences. I have never thought I would be writing a blog because it never really interest me and it wasnt something that seemed easy to do. If it weren't for this class I wouldn't have known what it was like. It isn't something so easy to do you have to know what the point of your blog is so you can make it through this project. A blog isn't  just a website with funny pictures or facts its to inform you of something. A blog is usually made to prove a point. 

When it came to making my blog I knew what I was going to write about because of past experiences I have had through out my life and being able to have a first hand in things makes writing easier. For example, I wrote of Los Angeles. The reason I did so was because I know what Los Angeles is like and what others think of it but I want to let people know that it really isn't such a bad place as it seems. By using my experiences and what others thought it made it more credible.

I didn't like the idea of using a blog though but I learned what it was like to use one. For me it wasn't such a great experience because I don't like to be posting what I think is interesting and since I don't like to be updating something often I didn't like this experience. It was something really boring for me but pretty interesting to see how creative others did their blogs. I was more like a simple person because technology for me can get very frustrating. 

After all, doing this blog teached me many things. I learned how to use the media more than I used to. I learned little things that others may know already how to do but I didn't so by doing this I learned what a blog was and how to make one. It is pretty interesting just at points when one doesnt get how to do something that involves the media gets pretty frustrating. Other than that it was good. I even learned new things about Los Angeles that I didn't know. Like i'm surprised how many saw Los Angeles as a dangerous place. I know it is but I never thought of it like that since some parts are pretty safe to me just depends where you live.
