The process of creating a Web Folio was a nice way to wrap up the term. This was the last big project before the end of term and although I truly enjoyed this writing class, I was excited to finally submit this assignment. To complete the Web Folio, I repurposed my original ENGL 301 blog which was not too challenging. Since I was quite satisfied with most of my assignments, the majority of my efforts went towards editing page titles and contents and choosing a well-suited template. I had initially put a lot of effort in each assignment so I found that only minor revisions were necessary and I was quite happy with most of my work. Prior to this course, I had never used WordPress and was very unfamiliar with blog posting and webpage design. When compiling this Web Folio, I was reminded once again of the beginning of term and the challenges that came with editing the site identity and page layout. After much internal debate about the look and feel of my blog, I finally decided on one and continued with the rest of the assignment.
In this assignment, I had the opportunity to reflect on all the assignments I have completed this term and recognize the hard work that my peers and I have put in this course throughout the term. Going back to read and edit all my assignments was very enjoyable and provided a strong sense of accomplishment. I can definitely tell that my technical writing abilities have improved throughout the duration of this class and I am very glad to be taking away useful writing strategies for future use.
In general, re-purposing the blog site into a Web Folio was a very rewarding experience. Although it was almost embarrassing in moments to reflect on my previous writing, re-reading and re-writing was enjoyable. Seeing the comparison between my original and updated assignments made it clear that I had grown as a writer in these few short months.
In summary, I believe that my Web Folio does a great job of summing up my academic and professional achievements in an organized fashion and I am proud of all the work that I have accomplished this term.
