In the beginning of class when we went over blogging I was not quite sure how this was going to tie into our class, but now that it is all over now I can see that blogging was a very good way to keep everybody in class up to date with what was happening in our industry. A major part of our class was to keep up with the news of our particular segment, and this helped me do just that.
While constantly reading articles in search of something that I found intriguing enough to blog about it really helped me just sort of realize what was going on in the different parts of our industry segment. For me while having other classes and work it is hard time to sit down and actually read a bunch of articles with very limited free time, and i liked how with this part of the class it almost in a way forced us to keep up with the news. This also got me reading more as i was just online browsing I would continue reading.
One thing I did not like about the blog was that our posts had to be within a certain segment of our industry, and that if i found something outside of green and sustainability that it would not relate to our blog.
As we learned through this class that social media is becoming a big thing within our industry, and blogging may be used in the future to promote business, or to even spark ideas and brainstorm with other chefs about new menu creations or troubles dealing with an ingredient. Overall i feel that blogging was a beneficial experience.
While browsing articles i previously stumbled upon this blog which i felt would be a fun blog to follow in the future. This blog not only gives menu ideas and new recipes, but also informs everybody who follows of just all of the news in the industry, which i feel is important.
