I think using blog to post students’ thoughts and communicate to each other is an interesting idea. But as the end of the semester is near and I think about it, I don’t really know if it is necessary to comment on other people’s entries. Most time I found the people who I responded to were having really similar ideas so I have to repeat the similar comment again and again. On the other hand, I don’t really have the time to go through all the thoughts and try to find out unique opinions. Therefore, I feel like I’ve been pushed to read other people’s blogs (not because they are boring). I really enjoyed writing about my thoughts on the blog, nevertheless at the same time I think we should have the freedom to decide whether or not we give comments to others. It did work well to refresh the memory of the class activities and related topics on certain topic assignments, and it probably will encourage non-participative type of people dive in to group activities in order to be able to write something about them after the class. In conclusion, I think the blog is more like a homework which separates from the true meaning of blog which is about free writing. However, doing so is much better than dreadful real homework so I have nothing to complain about it. I won’t keep posting my blog after the final because I have my only personal space as well, but I believe the experience of this class will be unforgettable.
now, it's time for the final!
