Module 3 - Blogs

In your learning log, record your thoughts. Consider various uses for blogs such as citizen journalism and personal blogging. Have you seen in your net travels any interesting uses for blogs? This blog entry is an opportunity to tell us what you really think of blogging!

Blogging is an interesting and fun way to provide information on the web for others to view. The information included in a blog is solely up to the user. There are many purposes for blogs. It can be used as a personal site that gives up to date happenings of your life. It can be used to demonstrate your hobby by proving links, pictures and discussion on what you enjoy doing. It can also be used for university like this subject to record reflections and answers to questions so your thoughts can be shared with others within the course. I have also seen blogs that have been dedicated to the growth of children, parents putting the development of their children in the form of a blog. It is clear that the uses for blogs are endless. Anybody can access and create their blog on whatever they want. Blogs particularly cater for those that want a site that others can have access to but do not know how to create their own web page using html. Despite all of these benefits of blogging it is not something that I will be continuing. Time is probably the biggest reason for this decision. I would prefer to be talking to friends face to face or talking with them over the phone. I am an outdoors person, so sitting at the computer creating a blog is not something that I would do.
