Planning - Gallery Walk #19

 

In class about a month ago, we had an activity to give our classmates feedback on their blogs so that they can improve and apply them to work best to their ability, by writing a small note on sticky notes and sticking them onto their 

The most reoccuring feedback note I received is how I bold any important concepts or words to make them stand out, as well as adding personality with hello kitty photos that match the concept of what my blog is about. For example, the hello kitty with a magnifiying glass and question mark to match researching things I don’t know or am confused about.

These were the sticky notes with feedback provided on them to know what im doing right and wrong. I mostly was complimented on the visual appeal and “aesthetic” I matched my blogs with, as well as the bolding important concepts to emphasize their importance. I loved to see that my effort did infact have an impact and get the message that I had wanted to across.

When viewing other classmates’ blogs, i realized that they show much more personality and evidence as they include as much picures as they can to show how they got from one thing to another, inspiring me to be able to do the same as I first had the idea that I had to keep it professional. Due to his, It has become slightly difficult for me to trealize that I can be less tense when making my blogs, forgetting I’m able to be myself and show out more of my character on my blogs.

These are the ideas that I took inspiration from the other blogs I had viewed in order to better my blogs and put more effort into them. As shown, I listed that I’d like to add more evidence, as well as adding references and elaboration. After, jotting down what I needed to and reflecting based off of everything, writing down and answering questions that help me reflect more that Ms. Ortiz provided.

Reflection:

Reflecting on the gallery walk, I realized that the feedback helped me understand my strengths that show in my blogs,  especially in using visuals and bolded text to highlight important ideas. Knowing that my classmates noticed and appreciated the effort I put into the aesthetic of my blog motivated me to keep using these techniques while feeling more confident in my style, and wanting to continue the hello kitty theme <3.

At the same time, reviewing other blogs showed me that I can improve by adding more evidence, references, and personal expression. Moving forward, I want to relax more while writing and allow my personality to show, rather than focusing only on being professional. This reflection will help me create blogs that are more engaging, detailed, and true to who I am so that the most effort is shown.
