Re: Some Hopes and Concerns

I believe that blogging is going to be a great exercise for the class. It allows for us to be more expressive than normal. Students may be more willing to express there thoughts over a computer screen than in front of an entire classroom. I just hope that we use it as a class to communicate to each other, at times, and not just fulfil the requirements. I have found myself falling guilty of this already, seeing how it's March and I'm just now responding to Mr. Jolly's post. It will probably take some time for everyone to get use to using a blog, and that is understandable.

Technology is advancing faster and faster as days go by. The Internet has become a something most people can't live without because of this. Our blogs may feel like a needle in a haystack, just lying there, waiting for some outside person to find them. It is very likely that no one outside our class will read our blogs. If we really want someone to, it would be rather easy. E-mailing the link to your blog to family members, or friends is a good way to get the blog out there. Or, like Mr. Jolly suggested, be ambitious, and find another random blog to partner up with.

In the end, I just hope that, as a class, we enjoy this new opportunity. Blogging is something that could grow on me, and I hope that, when I'm done with this class, I continue to blog about the inner workings of me.
