Thing 4
It seems that blogging as a genre can be several different styles. Some seem to be casual as in Imagine Turning On the Faucet and Nothing Coming Out while others are more formal like Why I Don’t Assign Homework. They can informative Spies Like Us or just hopping on a soap box to tell the world. Also with reading blogs I found that it seems to be interactive type of read. The blogger can enhance his topic with links and images. I also think reading a blog allows the reader to become more involved with the topic because he is also reading feedback from the comments and also can add a comment. The commenting on a blog is another way of interacting with not only the blogger but also with the other people who have commented. You could almost say it way new way to network with people. The group already has mutual interest in the topic and has link to each other. Also the commenting allows the reader to get multiple view points on a topic which leads to a better understanding of the information. Hopefully with this class I can work on ways to use blogging as a learning tool. I’m sure interactive conversions on topics could be a way.
