Keeping a blog for a course is a new experience for me. I would rather do assignments and projects that work with technology instead of using a text book and paper to just write things down. By using blogs, we have more freedom to personalize our assignments and use our individual experiences and knowledge and to be creative as well. The only difficult thing is that it constantly needs updated. Student's lives are extremely busy in this era. Most of us work and go to school and still try to find a balance between life and our school life. Always having to update my blog can be stressful when I have a hundred other things to do.
Keeping a blog as a teacher is something that I think I will be doing. By having one, you can keep a record of lessons that have worked out well for you in the past. Teachers keeping blogs also makes it easier to collaborate with other teachers and find ways to make lessons more fun or learn about new lesson ideas.
Having a blog has definitely expanded my collective intelligence when it comes to media. Looking at other students blogs gives me alternate views on topics and also teaches me new things. Being able to respond to their ideas can open their eyes to new ideas as well.
