Nina's Blog: Why do we blog? Blogging is a way to connect to th...:


As Nina stated, we blog in order to voice our opinions and allow anyone, anywhere in the world to see.  
Technology is so relevant today and blogging is a great way for people to learn from each other.  I believe that the best learning happens in a group where people are connected. We are constantly connected to those around us because of cell phones, laptops and tablets that blogging just makes sense!

I think that blogging is also a great tool to use in schools, with youth, for many different reasons.  First, it is a great way to get students connected to other students from different schools or different states.  It allows them to visualize the world outside of their city or town.

I think blogging is also a great way to get students more comfortable with technology.  Like with many things, the more you use it, the better you become!  Blogging can also play a large role in enhancing the writing skills of students.  By blogging, they are getting experience with different types of writing.  They are also reading which can play a large role in learning writing techniques.  They can learn from one another by reading and commenting on their classmates blogs.

This blog is my first blog.  At first, I was very apprehensive about the idea of blogging, but I have come to really enjoy it.  I love seeing what other students think about particular readings or topics.  It's a great way to view everyone's thoughts and insights, even those who are on the shy side!
