Blogging Saves Trees!

I both liked and disliked the blogging assignment for a few reasons. The main reason why I liked blogging is its convenience. I was able to turn in assignments just by using the Internet. There was no need for hard copies of any assignments (which saves trees! and Vince, you know how concerned I am about the environment!)

Also, I found blogging interesting because it was a new tool I have never used. This semester, I blogged both in Organization Communication and Linda's New Media course. In both instances, I have been able to explore the world of Blogspot and create new and interactive websites. I like the informal style of writing blogs use. Also, I like that you can be creative in your presentation of the blog.

Other than having a few technical glitches in the beginning of the semester with my blog, I did enjoy playing with it frequently and posting my assignments. I recognize that it may be a pain for you to grade, but I do think as technology advances, having a blog for students to post assignments on will probably be much more common. I say keep the blog!
