To Blog Or Not To Blog ?

         All through this quarter blogging has been a big part of our grade. Though it was a bit of a stress to keep up with them overall it was an interesting ordeal. Being able to have an assignment where all we have to do is type is a little easier or I should say better suited for our generation's learning potential. Using the fact that students spend most of their time anyways online, creating assignments on a social network they can easily access really intrigued them. It was exciting to blog. Blogging helped getting emotions and ideas out in a none aggressive manner. Although as great the blogging assignments were, the weekly articles seemed a bit much. Having twenty blogs per quarter is totally reasonable, that I agree, but six hundred word weekly articles are somewhat overwhelming. I don't think that they should be gone completely, more like a suggestion to make the articles every two maybe three weeks ? Or even make it somewhat less words than six hundred words. Sometimes even, the article topics aren't something one can write six hundred words on. Yes it is challenging to write so much but writer's block occurs highly often. My blogging experience has been phenomenal I must say. Some topics were difficult to write, others were fairly easy, but then again it could be just my own premise on them. As long as we have twenty blogs per quarter is a great thing, because we can mix match blogs. Thank you Mr.Meechin for making only fourteen blogs due instead ! It wouldn't have been terrible to do twenty but fourteen blogs made life so much easier. I doubt this is six hundred words, but I have nothing else to say other than I am excited and looking forward to next quarter's blog topics and lessons !
