Usefullness of Blogging

In the begining of the semester, I hated to blog. I thought it was a waste of my time and I didn't understand the reasoning behind it. After awhile though I realized that it really helped me out. I was able to address any of my concerns, talk about class activities, and form some of my thesis statements for my papers. It has been a way to interact with my teacher also. She is able to talk to me through it and vice versa. That way, the student and the teacher keeps in contact throughout the semester and not only in class. I would definately recommend blogging for other classes. Students will find it very helpful and some will see it as a way to relieve their stressors that are affecting their writing.
