I really enjoyed this activity. Not only was it a good way to get my plans for my blog down in a visual format... It also showed me which segments might get a little overwhelming if I focused on them too much or too often, and which could use more consideration and expansion in the future. It's great for brainstorming writing topics or planning order of events, and making connections between topics that might come in handy. It definitely applies to different subjects than Mashups do. This seems more writing, thought, and conceptual based, while Mashup seems to be more about actually conveying information visually, textually, and audibly.
I think I liked this better than making a bubble-graph on paper- it's quick, it's easy, it makes sense, and you can rearrange at will without the drawing getting all confused-looking. This seems like a really handy tool for someone who needs a lot of reminders and notes about ideas they come up with, like me.
That is a huge mind map for your blog! This mind mapping that you did for your blog will help you lay out your information to help you plan the overall structure of it. All of the information you plan to include from movie reviews to the different styles of movies will help viewers critique and know more about what they are watching, or are going to watch. This blog is actually a great idea because it will allow Coe students, as well as others, to view a blog of someone they know and decide what movies they should watch based on your reviews. Plus it gives you a reason to go see a ton of movies!! Looking forward to your reviews!
