Brainstorming a topic...
This semester we have been asked to change our blogging format. In our 2 posts per week, we are asked to make one post about our progress in class, and the second blog on a specific subject related to gaming and expanding on it each week. I am currently thinking about two different ideas. The first idea would be to discuss the ratings and censorship of video games. I feel like the topic is interesting and I feel there is a lot to expand on which is important because I need enough content to fill 16 entries. Another topic I'm considering is the latest trend using game consoles for home exercise. Because this is a recent trend, there is a lot to report regarding the latest games as well as the success of these programs. I'm not sure which one I'm going to use, so any sort of feedback is welcome.

These both sound great. I'm drawn to the ratings and censorship topic because it is a little more controversial, which means you'll probably be able to find some really vibrant and impassioned sources on both sides. It's always a good technique when blogging to take a position (ex. you are against censorship because video games are art--albeit a new form--and no art should be censored; or the opposite: that video games influence people and their actions and thus it is the responsibility of vendors to inform parents if there is graphic content). Once you decide what you believe in, it's really fun to find other people's opinions and debate or reconsider your side in a public forum.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, that's what motivates me to blog! It also makes me a more critical thinker.
I hope that helps! I look forward to reading what you end up writing.
