blogging: who, what ,when, where, why and how?
I am still unsure about my true feelings about blogging. I was persuaded into the blogging world, due to it being a requirement of a graduate class. I have to admit many times that I was blogging or looking at blogs it was strictly for school and because I had to. I do have to admit that a few times that I wasn’t up to my ears in school work that I was able to produce what I felt were a few interesting and informative blogs. I also feel that I realize now that when you go to surf blogs, you can find a blog about anything and everything. I saw blogs on big issues like politics and environment, but then there are blogs about music and sports teams. I think blogging is a great tool to use to communicate worldwide. I feel like it gives every average person the ability to speak their mind and possibly create an informative conversation with many other individuals. I look at some advise I have received after posting a blog and asking a few questions. I got all types of advise and I was able to utilize some of it in my everyday life. I can not say that I will become an avid blogger, but I do believe I will continue to blog at least on occasion as a way to vent or to reach out for advise. I do know that I will continue to look at blogs and learn from the knowledge and experiences of the vast number of people sharing ideas and thoughts.
So, to bloggin I say that everyone should look into it becasue it seems like asagfe place to vent, speak your mind, ask advise or make a few points.

It is totally normal and expected that the mere fact that this blog was a course requirement may squelch some of the personal motivation and satisfaction that can result from blogging. But, it is really the only way to cause you to experience this form of communication and collaboration in depth. I would encourage you to continue your blog… but now make it your own… whatever it is that you are passionate about. Then, you can think about educational applications when you are ready. Blog for yourself first. Make connections with other like-minded bloggers. Experience the benefit of being part of a learning community. I think then you will have a brand new experience and perspective.
