Learning from Blogging

I think blogging is a good way to learn. It lets you write down ideas, and reflect on almost anything. You also get to compare your ideas with other people's, and share your thoughts by reading and responding. It can also widen your mind and look at things from different views that people may have. Blogging is also a way for us as students, to practice our writing skills, and also with how we look and think of things.

Blogs connect reading, writing and thinking skills by letting us read what someone has to say, and then use our thinking process to write ideas down. It is also nice to be able to go back to our resources we might be writing or reading about by the click of a button. You can also connect with many different people in different ways because everybody has a different way of thinking and looking at something, so we might say to ourselves, yea wow i never look at that that way that's really interesting, and then we can go and put our reaction to it also and share what we learned.

It's beneficial because everything we need is right in front of us, there's no rummaging through papers trying to find information or work we did, its also just somewhere to put our thoughts down, and have people add to it so we can expand on our writing and add new information. I don't feel that blogs have very many drawbacks too them, and think they are very useful and creative. You get to make it your own. People could abuse blogs and be disrespectful which would be a downside.
