Reflection
I started this Tumblr project against my will will great unease. I am not a huge social media fan and after being on Facebook for a few years was ready to leave all together so the idea that I had to engage in another social media project in order to pass this paper was not a pleasant one! I also felt skeptical about what I would learn from it. Well, after all these weeks I have changed my view completely!! This project has made me really think about the different aspects of adolescence, not simply read a textbook but to actually engage in the topics in that textbook and then post on them on Tumblr. Not only have I had to think myself but seeing the information that others have posted on Tumblr has been fascinating. I come away feeling as though I have actually learnt about adolescence and can understand more clearly the process I went through myself all those years ago and also the process that my own four children will embark on. By actively engaging in the topics, researching for interesting photos, articles and quotes I have deepened my understanding and opened myself up to others experiences and viewpoints. While I do not intend to keep my Tumblr account open I do appreciate the journey I have been on with it!
