I TYPED THIS ENTRY WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL

BLOGGING

The truth is I had never used the blog before until last year. Even though, many of my friends have started to use this virtual diaries as a place for them to tell others about their feelings and ideas on an issue. For me, it is easier  and  more comfortable to write on papers or books. But now, after I have experienced it, I have to admit that, it is easier and for sure, more effective. At first, it was hard for me to start because I am not familiar yet with the program. How to use a blog? And now,  I’m writing the journals for the class assignments, and also for my daily incidents (diary) But not too details and personals of course. You don’t have to tell others how many times you shower every day, right? I can write whatever I want to write and I am happily receiving any feedback and comment from other bloggers. It is fun and it is also one of the ways to learn and also gain new knowledge. I also use this blog to post all my thoughts and feeling about the current issues that had happened nowadays. I feel blog is really useful for me. Why? Because blog makes me writing.

Yes, I will recommend this method to be used in my language classroom in the future. Especially for writing classes and also for the subjects that require a lot of writing activities. I feel this blog is effective and useful. It encourages us to familiarize ourselves with the current technology devices. This is one of the ways to write our thought freely. We are liberated to do whatever we want to do. We are free to say out all the things that are lingering inside our minds. So, my suggestion to others; blog is a correct means to pour and enlighten others with bright and useful opinions and ideas.


Can you spot the grammar mistakes? This is one of the functions to have blogging activities in language classroom!! :)
