Blogs...does it contribute anything to my lesson?

During my first lecture, Dr. Edwin said that one of our assignments is to create our own blog. When I first heard that, I sighed and think that is going to be troublesome and boring. But as each week past by, I find out that blogs is actually a good platform for my thoughts to flow. It is a place where I can put my reflections into words and a good way to express my opinions. As I as taking Teaching the Language of Drama this semester, I think blogging is a good way to state my opinions and questions. Another thing about blogs that I like is that I can read other person’s view and opinion. Their view also contributes greatly because they help me understand better about the plays and I see them as my idea generator.
Besides that, I can also view my course mates’ blogs. Their thoughts are a lot different than mine and I am inspired by their opinions and feelings towards the course and lessons. Now I see blogging in a different light. I see it not only as a website but a stage for me and my course mates as well to put their thoughts into words and an outlet of our abundant views.

I agree that by viewing the other course mates blog can know my friend’s thought and opinion. This benefits me because I can learn more new opinions and develop a solid foundation for my learning.

Hi Sharon,

True enough, there is a lot we can learn about drama just by reading the different views of our classmates. But I think communication between classmates is far less efficient as blogs make lousy chat spaces. Blogs are intended for bulletin-style posting, which somewhat removes the 'personalized' bond that is only available from forums (like in last semester), or chat-rooms.

Hi Sharon..
I agree with you that blog is a wonderful platform for us to put our reflection. Besides that viewing others blog, i can easily understand their thought, view towards the lesson and plays.
