Usefulness of Blogging

Honestly, when I first started this class I dreaded the thought of having to do two weekly blog posts. After sitting down and just getting used to doing them, I found them to be a useful media for having discussions with classmates outside of class. I feel that this blog has also forced me to think about how and what I am writing. I was constantly rereading my posts prior to posting them because when you post something there is a strong likelihood that someone else will  be reading it (and judging you), and me being me, I did not want to show off my lacking grasp of the English language or be too belligerent. I think that course blogging is an effective tool at stimulating individual students to improve their writing and facilitate post class discussion (so its useful and I enjoyed it).
