Blog Assignment Number 4

What do I have to say about blogging?? Hmm...well I must admit, as all of you can surely see, no matter how much I use the internet to communicate, I still haven't gotten used to the fact of using it for schoolwork. Take for instance the very fact that this will have been the SECOND blog assignment I am at least one day late for! How easy an assignment it could have been and yet, how ridiculously I have managed to screw that very thing little thing up!

Moving on, I think blog assignments teach you how to be a better communicator to the world its self! As people of the 21st century, we have gotten so accustomed to texting, and talking with incorrect grammar, and because of this, we hardly ever have any clue what we mean! Sure, it can be easy to carry on a conversation with someone: Act interested, nod, use emotion, change your tone, etc...but do we actually even know what point(s) we are trying to get across? Most of the time the answer to that question is NO :) Blogging helps us write down our ideas in our head so that we are able to review them and bring meaning to them.

While journaling may seem like a terrific idea for getting ideas across to US, no one actually gets to see how we have evolved as people like you do with a blog or a website. Plus, it gives you a free audience to try and prove your thoughts and opinions to people all over; or at least share with them a new aspect of an idea that maybe no one else has even ever thought about. I think I've realized this most in my research, because while in my past I've done these projects before, I don't think I've ever actually gotten the full grasp of the concept or even understood the full point of doing the project itself. Its usually the same step-process every single time: Get the project, do it/get it done, and turn it in for the best grade possible. Yet, as I've moved on to college I've found that thinking about my projects in the process of them all is the whole point of the project itself! It teaches you something, if done correctly!
