post-mortem reflective post

I really enjoyed blogging as part of this course, although I half wish that we had used LJ instead of blogger because LJ's threaded comment and email notification makes communicating much easier, though I admit that blogger's search capabilities are better. I loved being able to read other people's work and I think it'll really help me in my essays (I'm doing another digital-based one for Anthropology 211).

Overall, I enjoyed the workshops and random bits of media in lectures most of all. I liked seeing what other groups came up with for each week's exercises and I think it's much easier to learn in an interactive environment.

Due to my personal background, this was definitely the most fun course I've taken at uni. It was a pleasure to be able to relate to almost all of the content and situate it in a personal context.

I'm happy to consider myself a cyborg under most if not all of the definitions used in the readings. I use CMC to facilitate my specialist hobbies, to sell/buy on Ebay, to access academic journals and to waste copious amounts of time. I have few qualms about the intergration of machine/body and would (use?) parthenogenesis if social, technological and legal circumstances allowed.

Thank you Tama and Karen :) I hope a course like this will continue to run in the future, because I think the information we covered is really worth while.
