My Thoughts on Blogging

What is your opinion of "Blogging"?

I still have a hard time communicating with people through such a non personal venue but it is really helpful on a lot of levels. Especially since each day seems to get a little more hectic.


2. Did you find this to be a useful reflection / communication tool?

I think Blogging is a very resourceful tool. I come from a large family and a lot of family members have blogs about weddings or trips to help everyone stay on the same page. It can be really helpful when other modes of communication aren't possible. This was my first time utilizing it for a class. There were a lot of things we got to through blogging that couldn't have happened otherwise because of limited class time. When used creatively blogging is very helpful.

3. Would you use a Blog in your art classroom? If yes, how. If no, why not?

I think it would take me a while to figure out the best way to utilize Blogging in my classroom, for me I definitely think its a trial and error type of thing. So yes, I would use it I'm just not sure exactly how. I think most of that depends on the class, the level, and the personality of the students.
