Bonjour awesome readers and fellow bloggers! The iBloggers are here to give you our sixth and final post. Two months ago, the Urban Guru, headmaster of Blogwarts, gave us our 4th Quarter CEO (Creative Expansive Output). We, Euxine, Arketa, Kurt_Cobain94, pRiNnyThE, and Lionhart, were grouped together to bring you iBlog. In this project, we have to share with the world our expeditions in the diverse world of Science. Since this was our first time blogging, we were excited and anxious at the same time.
One weekend, we trooped to Euxine's house to plan our CEO. Finding a name for the blog was probably the most challenging part of this project. The suggested names went from 9Blog to Kurt Cobain is Awesome to other very odd names that are too shameful to divulge. After six long hours of thinking (with a big chunk of time spent on eating and goofing around), we eventually decided on a name - the iBlog. It was only then that we were actually able to work on the first post. We agreed to take turns in writing and improving the entries. We also created a Facebook Secret Group to help in discussing comments, posts, pictures, and layouts.
We've discovered that blogging, though it is fun and exciting, is definitely not an easy task. We encountered several problems while doing this project. There were lots of discussions on who would write, comment, edit, and add pictures. Some members grew "eye luggages" staying up until four in the morning just to fix the blog posts. Who would have thought that five short paragraphs would take ten hours to write? Eventually, we got the hang of blogging and we were able to write with a bit more ease. We've discovered the potential of each of our members. Some have the knack for writing, others for campaigning and advertising. Some have skills in designing and arranging the layout, while others provide the comic relief which came in handy when everyone was tense and tired. We also learned that it takes a lot of hard work and team collaboration to create an awesome group blog.
Given the chance, we would definitely do this again. Blogging has opened an opportunity for us to share our thoughts and experiences to the whole world. Through this undertaking, we discovered the joy of writing and the thrill of knowing that our entries are being read and appreciated. Even in our young age, we do have something to say. We know we can get better given more time and opportunity to blog.
In our opinion, it would be great if this activity could be expanded to cover other subjects such as English, HeKaSi, Filipino, Art, and Sports. We could write about things that interest us like music, films, mythology, current events, fashion, sports and many more. It would improve not only our skill in writing, but also our sense of responsibility when it comes to submitting the posts on time.
We have to say that this was one of the best CEOs we've ever had and one of the most enjoyable too. The Urban Guru's specific, well-phrased, and concise guidelines surely helped us in writing our posts and comments. However, being novice writers, we had trouble dealing with deadlines. Nevertheless, we had the best time making iBlog and it was surely a great way to end the school year.
Hope you all had fun reading this blog as much as we enjoyed writing it! And remember, just because this will be our final post for the Science Blogging Project doesn't mean that we'll stop blogging. Maybe not on this site and maybe it won't be about Science this time, but definitely this won't be the last time you'll hear from us. And with that, the iBloggers are signing off.
