Your final blog post is a place for you to reflect on several aspects of the course. Read "What Sort of Revolution" from The Economist and watch "Epic," a short video about Google taking over the world, for inspiration. More than anything, this post is a place for you to consider the broader framework of the class--what constitutes new media, how it's changing writing, how the visual is a part of that. Because this is your wrap up post, it should be longer than the others and really engage with a few key ideas that interest you. You might write about some of the following questions or ideas related to them:
-How has your sense of your own writing changed as you've traveled more extensively in the new media world? How does image/ visual argument fit into this perception?
-Consider the way new media blurs the line between text and image and writer and audience.
-What do you see for the future of new media? How will this affect your writing and writing in general?
-Consider your use of the blog in this class. How have your ideas about blogging changed during the semester? Why? Has blogging altered your sense of yourself as a writer? How?

Hi Delia! You commented on my blog before I was done reading it over for a final edit so you might want to look over that post again. I was in the midst of spell check when you added that comment. Thanks!
