Welcome to Our Blog

Hello girls: I want to try out blogging with you. Please post a comment to this post
by answering the following question: "What is one pro and one con for blogging in English class?"

  1. I think a PRO would be that one can express her ideas without interruption or feeling shy. One CON could be that one might not feel connected to the discussion like in a real class.

  11. PRO (:
    It puts the question in print, and will make the question easier to understand by talking to others.

    Sometimes more work depending on how long/detailed the question is. :P

  12. I think one pro of having a blog for English Class is that it's easier to search for sources and answer questions because you are already on the internet. Instead of having to go get a dictionary and leave your computer running, you can just go to a dictionary site. One con of having a blog is that you do not have a one-on-one interaction; you also are not able to get a question answered as fast as if the discussion was live.

  15. A PRO about blogging is that we can get better at using HIGH TECH technology, and will be able to use our new skills in the future.

    A CON about blogging is that if you aren't good with computers, or don't have one at home (although I don't think anyone doesn't have one), then you will not be able to blog that easily.

  16. A Pro of using a blog is that we are able to have class discussions outside of the classroom as well as in it. But a Con is that using that we become more reliable on technology and many people, such as myself, have trouble using technology.

  21. Hey Mrs. King! Well one PRO of blogging for English class is that is a great way to communicate with our classmates and you; however, one CON of blogging is that many people may forget to comment or post something AND it is just time consuming (like Emily K. posted) and many people may (well from my thinking) feel nervous to forget to post a comment. I just wanted to add that if this is going to be the homework for a day instead reading and/or grammar work, then that's great; however, if we have other homework along with it, one may forget (I think I'm writing too much:)) to post whatever homework they needed to do that night. :)

  24. One Pro is that it is an easier way to communicate and it is faster and better. One con is that if we have any technical difficulties at our house or school we would not be able to use it.
