Reflective Post

i think the weblogs worked well in this unit as they were both topical and very practical for communication amongst our tute. I found that the most interesting stuff posted was the things that were not compulsory, but rather out of interest, such as links to sites and articles that people found interesting or useful. This really exemplified how blogs were able to encourage sharing knowledge and being able to learn from our peers rather than just our lecturer (not that there's anything wrong with that)

On the cyborg issue... in the first workshop I was particularly confused as to what a cyborg was and how come some people knew so much about it and i didn't. However as it turns out my whole semester has revolved around cyborgs as I chose to do a communications studies project on them too. Anyway i am definitely a cyborg, or at least i have become one this semester due to my excessive use of my computer to complete my project.

With the course I enjoyed all the media that was shown in workshops and lectures. The culture jamming stuff was cool and it was fun having to come up with ideas for the ipod ads in the workshops. I also found the stuff about computer games interesting too, especially the Sims, even though i have never played it. And most of the readings were really interesting...i think i may have even read them all, or at least most. Overall the unit was really good... and of course Tama is fantastic, but the highlight was definitely my rocky road;)
