At first I thought blogging in class was rather...strange. I'd never done blogging before, and never really had the urge to try. However, I really like blogging for class. I find it a lot more enjoyable than having to write a paper every week.
When your blogging you don't have to worry about structure and organization necessarily. You can just write down your thoughts with freedom. You also don't have to worry about retialiation. No one can see who you are or judge you, they just agree or disagree respectively.
Blogging is also a bit easier than having to do different assignments every week. Since it only has to be 200 words, there isn't much pressure on you to get it done. Sometimes homework can be overwhelming, being long, boring, and and structured. However, blogging is a breeze as well as efficient. I learn a lot reading other people's blogs, and enjoy getting different opinions on certain subjects. It's much easier and works better to write down your opinions and thoughts, than having to read and copy from a book.
The stress free, and compatible learning combination makes blogging a keeper, and I think students in the future will enjoy this way of school.

I agree with you, when you blog you don't have to worry what people think-you still get feedback but it's impersonal so criticism doesn't hurt! I also was a little uneasy about blogging at first but now i really like it.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, blogging is the way to go. I agree with you respectively. Blogging makes this run of the mill routine assignment not just more enjoyable but like you said "a breeze". Our professor could have made this assignment much more painstaking, instead he gave a very unique and new perspective on community writing. I have a lot on my plate with a full schedule and this weekly writing does nothing to add to the stress.
