Yet Another...

So as the weeks of school continue, we learn more about blogging. We have learned about new technology that teenagers wouldn't normally use. This is the first time that I have used any type of blog. I'm getting used to it now that I have been assigned to do it for class. We can use blogging as a form of a "quiet debate". We can write down our ideas about almost anything really and be able to leave a comment or respond to other students ideas. We learn how to write about important topics and have fun with it rather than know that it is a writing assignment that needs to be handed in, in a formal way.

I would much rather write blogs as assignments than writing a page and a half in MLA format knowing that I will be judged on what I write about. Blogs are completely different. I can give my opinion on things and still give all the facts that are needed. People can judge my work, but I think of it as "constructing criticism". I feel like people learn better when debates are started and other peoples knows facts and comments are made.

People would rather read a blog or journal entry, where they can place their own comments, than a book or a huge news article. People want short facts about the important stuff. I feel like people like to hear others comments and blogs are the most perfect way in doing that. The only down side of having blogs are people can abuse the blogs and not put true statements, or become blog bullies.
