4/12/09 plusses and minuses of blogging

I have been looking at Tiffany's class blog throughout the semester. I have noticed that she has been keeping up very well with the assignments. I feel one plus, is the blogging helps students to keep up with assignments, and when things are due. It also helps to let students interact outside of class, and talk about other things beside class in order to make friends.

Some minuses may be that it is time consuming, and a lot to do for a class. IT can be hard to get the assignments in on time if you are working and going to school. Another minus may be that the posts may not pertain to what you are studying in school, or what your future job may be, or what you are wanting to do/study.

One plus may be that you can also keep up with teacher's blog, and the class blog to find out about updates, get handouts, turn in assignments, email your teacher and other classmates, and find out about dates.

And one more minus may be that some classmates(not Tiffany) but others may not be as diligent with the blogs as you should be, so you cannot just go be their page as an example. You must keep looking at the class blog to read requirements about different assignments.
