My feelings about Blogging

I really like that we are using blogging in this class because it forces me to use technology. I absolutely hate technology because I am not comfortable using it. I am probably one of the only people that I know who doesn't have a myspace or facebook page and people think that this is just unheard of. I am not one of those people who can explore how to do things on the computer by myself and I feel that blogging is something that is relatively simple and not that hard to figure out. Blogging has made me more comfortable with using technology and I could see myself creating a blog for my own classroom when I become a teacher. It is a really convenient way to post assignments and communicate and express ideas that you may prefer not to share in class. This also gives everyone a chance to participate and share their thoughts in a way that may not be as intimidating as the classroom setting. I also really like that I can read my classmates blogs and get ideas from them or read up on upcoming events on campus that may pertain to this class. Blogging has put me one step closer to overcoming my fear of using technology and I am glad that I got a chance to learn how to use this system of communication. I also like when the teacher posts questions or asks us to reflect on a certain topic because it forces me to check the page and add new comments to my blog. Otherwise, I often have a tendency to forget to post comments, which is just like me because I am really bad at procrastinating!
