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?"
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.
I think that a PRO of blogging is that it is a good way to discuss the book with the class while not in school. A CON of blogging is that it is more work and time consuming.
I think a PRO of the blogs is that it is an easy way to communicate with the other students. One CON of the blogs is that it is time consuming and sometimes confusing.
PRO (: It puts the question in print, and will make the question easier to understand by talking to others. CON :( Sometimes more work depending on how long/detailed the question is. :P
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.
One PRO for blogging in english class is that it is a new way to talk about english outside of school. One CON for blogging in english class is that it gives us more work to do at home.
A Pro would be that it is more easier to communicate with other students and the teacher. A Con would be that if your computer or power was down then it would be hard to access and sometimes can be a little confusing.
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.
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.
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. :)
A pro of blogging would be that we are able to discuss topics that everyone can participate in without being shy. A con would be that it takes a lot more work to log in and such..
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.
One pro would be it is easier to spread ideas and thoughts and hearing EVERYONES opinion. One con is that it is that some people are too busy to check their blog.
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.
