Reflection

 

Please ignore the clutter

My blogs meet all five criteria. Before I publish my posts, I pre-write them in a word document where I create the initial post, followed by editing and rewording in areas that may feel clunky. My last step is to plan my images and reference section. I then delete the images and copy the writing to blogger where I put the pictures back in and publish it. Altogether the process has taken me only a few hours per blog post and despite some early problems with my pictures, I think this system has worked well so far. I plan my blog posts by first reading the prompt/assignment after class ends. I then take the week to think about the assignment, decide how I want to interpret it and what points I want to cover so Tuesday morning when I go to write the post, I have very few issues and am able to type quickly, though as the expectations for these posts are raised, this system of pseudo-procrastination may prove to be ineffective. It does feel a little odd knowing that someone within fifty miles of me will actually be reading this, probably within seventy-two hours, but because this course is not face to face it is easier to not really even think about it and just act like I’m writing an odd essay style journal.

    Hi Ben. Your blogs do meet most criteria but an area you can improve on for this post at least is word count. Your image is correct, content responds to instructions, and grammar is at college level. I like your method of typing it out in a word document first to make sure everything is aligned and to your liking, I think I will try that myself!

The Four Flags of Cuba

  From its time as a colony to now, Cuba has seen a few different flags flying over the island.   1.    The Spanish Flag of the House of Burgundy   This was the colonial flag of Spanish overseas territories and by default, the flag of Cuba from the founding of Havana in 1515, up until Cuba an American territory after the Spanish-American War in 1898.

History of Colombia

Pedro de Heredia, Spanish Conquistador The earliest recorded history of Colombia dates back to about 1499 with the first Spanish conquest. Conquistador Alonso de Ojeda landed at Cabo de la Vela where he encountered the Muisca Confederation. A later expedition in 1533 led by Pedro de Heredia founded the first  permanent settlement of Cartagena. The Muisca Confederation was a nation of Amerindians located near what is now the city of Bogota. They had an economy largely based on agriculture and salt mining and would trade with other nearby tribes such as the Inca. The capital of the new colony, Colombia, Bogota, was founded in August of 1538 by Conquistador Jimenéz de Quesáda . The colony's main exports were gold and jewels mined through the forced labor of the Muisca people through the Encomienda system, a precursor to African slavery. In 1739 the Spanish holdings in the New World were reorganized and the Viceroyalty of New Granada Map of the  Viceroyalty of New Granada was form...
