When I first found out that we were using a blog for the class I was a bit nervous. It was very stressful in the beginning getting started with the blog because I had never used or created a blog before. I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how to set up the blog and how to submit assignments. Once I figured out how to do it I was fine. My blog experience has been very beneficial for me so far. I like blogging because it is a very convenient way to turn in my assignments so they can be graded. Blogging is also a good way to get feedback from others and not just the professors.
I don’t know if I will continue to use a blog for my own personal use other than this class. I am a private person and do not like to put information about my life out on the internet. It is interesting to me to see how many people do like to write about everything they are doing and post it on blogs or Facebook so anyone can read it.
I do think that blogging is a good resource to use in schools. I have seen some teachers at Nicolet Elementary use a blog for their class. On these blogs they have assignments, math quizzes and different kinds of educational games. When I am a teacher, I will consider using blogs to communicate with my students and their families, and post assignments, quizzes and games.
