I have never used a blog before so this is pretty interesting to me. Hopefully this will teach me to become better with technological things such as communication via the internet. I feel that the blog will allow me to give my opinion on things that I normally wouldn't do in class. I am not the type of person who likes to answer questions and talk infront of the class so maybe the blog will help me ask questions and communicate with classmates as well as the teacher. By using the blog i plan on getting to know how people feel about situations and using it as a tool to help me answer questions that I may have. Considering I usually do not participate in class discussions, this will give me the opportunity to get a participation grade without having to feel uncomfortable infront of the class.
