Last Blog Comment

I've used blogs a couple times before actually and I've never really like them. However, I should say that I thought this time was more affective than previous times. For me, what helped me the most was being able to read other people's ideas or work. Commenting on posts didn't really seem to be useful for me. Because it kind of seemed like I just did it because I had to, not because it was actually helping. But I did like being able to read what other people were working on. I think that knowing I had to post what I was writing for everyone else to see maybe did affect how I wrote at those times. It made you look more closely at how coherent/organized my thoughts were so that I could make sense to other people. So I think that is one asset of using the blog. I also think it is a very effective means of communication so that the teacher and all the students can be on the same page as far as assignments are concerned. And it's much easier than typing a paper, printing it out, and bringing it to class. The only down side is that it can seem to be busy work at times, but I guess that's not entirely a bad thing.
