Educational Blogging

           Blogging is one of the eventual realization of web 2.0 technologies. It is the driving engine behind this online information revolution. Thousands of blogs are created everyday and for different purposes. Some people blog to make money, some to share their voice with the world, some to immortalize their life events and diaries.In my blog, each post usually is written quite quickly, and I publish each post immediately. Rather than drafting and revising until each piece of writing is perfect, I tend to publish more frequently and with less perfectionism. I blog my immediate impressions and my first responses to ideas I have read about, or I blog about my experiences or about discussions that are going on in other blogs.

           When I blog, I’m always aware that I have an audience. And so I write out my thoughts just a little more clearly than I might have in a journal. Most blogs are not read by many people –maybe I have a dozen readers or so. A very few blogs are read by hundreds of thousands of people. Andy Warhol said that everyone has 15 minutes of fame. That’s changed today: on the internet, everyone is famous to 15 people. And 15 people can be just about the perfect size for a group of learners and thinkers. I started blogging when I was in 2^nd year college and I continue it because of our subject, and it helped me immensely. I rapidly found that the blogs I posted was helping me become more confident and that I was developing a clearer voice of my own – and that increased confidence carried through into my blog posts. I enjoy my blog experience, I also gained friends who follow and visit my blog site.

              Blogging really help, especially students to gain confidence,to voice out their thoughts. Blogging enhances literacy skills of students and also it gets students engaged and boost their motivation. Nowadays blogging is a good way to develop students like me in all aspects of learning.. and that is Educational Blogging!
