Blog About Blogger

Has blogging been valuable to you as a student, thinker, reader, and writer?
-I do believe that blogger has been a valuable experience for me as a student. It was a fun, easy way to post our responses to the questions/assignments you asked us. Google groups was nice, but blogger is a whole lot simpler, and it's nice that we're able to comment on each other's writings. Being able to comment on someone else's writings helps them to better their writing, and it makes the posting more interactive. Because of some feedback I got on my posts, I was able to better my writing style and understand what I have to fix.

How do you feel about doing and continuing to do this kind of work?
-I personally like doing the blogs. I want to continue using this website, because it's easy and simple to use. I never have to worry about going home and not understanding how to post this weeks assignment and other troubles like that. Again, I feel it's fun that we get to comment on other's writings. Also it's great to be able to go and look at other's ideas if I get stuck on an idea.

Is this work different from other experiences that you have had in English classes?
-This work is different than other experiences that I've had in past English classes. Basically all other English classes used the idea of writing papers, printing them out, and handing them in. Some used notebooks, and others gave homework throughout the week. I liked having just the one assignment during the weekend, and being able to post made it simple to go right to the teacher.

Has doing this work changed the community within your own class or between classes (11-1 and 11-2) in any way?
-I wouldn't say it changed the community between classes, but it was nice to be able to read 11-2's work. Usually for English, or history, assignments we won't get to see the other classes work because we have no way of communicating through classes. Blogger was a nice way for us to get to communicate through the class barrier, and see what our other peers were thinking.
