Value of Blog Posts

What you find valuable about our use of blogs?
This class is not the first time I have used blogs to post about my response to readings or activites done in my classes. I think that overall using blogs is a good tool for professors and students to get their reactions down and further their understanding by thinking through what they want to say. It's easy to have ideas in your mind but to write something about it takes reflection and the need to demonstrate a deeper understanding.
I really like using blogs in TE448 because sometimes there's not enough time in class and it's nice to read through others' thoughts. Other than being useful in tracking my own understanding, it is an easy way to share what I'm thinking with the rest of the class. While sometimes it is frustrating to remember to post by a certain date, I do find it beneficial.

Courtney- I am glad you see value in the blogs. I hope that even though you have used them more than once, you are finding ways to use them in different venues, for different purposes, etc.
