1.I have done blogging once before,but that is it.
2. A good thing about blogging is that it helps everyone to see important notices. Also, it can be a fun way of communicating with others.
3. A problem that could occur is that some one could misuse there blog privileges and get in big trouble.

I also agree with everything annie said.

Michael W (LRT 5/6B) said...

1) I use a blog page to talk to my soccer team because we all live in different cities and go to different schools but that is all the blogging that I have done.

2) Blogging can be good for communication and carrying conversations on for long periods of time without need for immediate response.

3) Other things could be alot more convienent.

Blogging

1- None

2- You can ask your teachers/friends questions and you can write your opinion on anything that's on your mind.

3- Nothings private- if you put super personal things on your blog then anyone can see it.

Lindsey S said...

1) None

2) A good thing about blogging is you can see what homework you have been assigned if you were gone. Also, it is a fun way of talking to people and asking questions.

3) If you write something mean about someone that person will see it. Also, if you can't talk to just one person cause everyone sees what you write.

Kristin M (1/2 B) said...

1) I havn't really done any blogging before.
2)a good thing about blogging is that you can post information and respond to it easy.

3) a problem that you could ahve with blogging is that somone could use it the wrong way and it's on the internet so everyone can see it.

patty w (5/6 A) said...

1) I have done very little blogging.
2) It is good because you can communicate with people outside of class.
3) A problem about blogging is that nothing is private on the internet.

Erica said...

1) I have done some blogging in other classes. In french, we put poems we wrote on a blog and commented all the other poems.

2) Blogging is a good way of communicating with others. It's also a great way for teachers to write something that they forgot to say in class. This way, if teachers forget to give the students an assignment, they could post it on the blog. (Or they could just not give the students the homework) :)

3) There is always a possibility that someone can find out your private information. Another thing that could happen is that someone could make a fake blog and pretend to be someone else.

kellyk said...

1) the only blogging i have ever done was in Mr.Forsters class...but that's pretty much it.

2) A good thing about blogging, is you can see information you might have needed to know prior to your next lrt class. Also, if Mr.Buckley forgot to mention something in class, he would probably post it on his blog.

3) A problem with blogging, is that you have to be careful about what you say because alot of people will see it, so you might not want to post anything private. But otherwise, i think blogging is a great idea!

Megan R (1/2 B) said...

1) I have done a little blogging. Only in Mr. Forster's class.

2) I think some good things about blogging are, sharing news, and talking to friends. Basically you it's just good for communicating with other people.

3) Some bad things about blogging are, almost everybody can see what you wrote (I think), so you can't always say what you want to if you don't want somebody else to see it. But if it's just friendly conversation I think blogging is fine.

Addy Z (LRT 1/2A) said...

1. I have never blogged before.
2. A good thing about blogging is knowing what you missed if you were absent from class.
3. A problem would be having limited access to the internet when you have to do homework assignments, like this.

That One Guy said...

1) I havn't done any blogging outside of French

2) A good thing about blogging might be sharing information with random people around the world.

3) Other things might be easier and more convenient, like doing this kind of stuff in class.

XOXO said...

1) I have my own blogger account that actually has a blog and stuff, so I do quite a bit of blogging.
2) I think the good thing about blogging is that you can talk about your day on it. You can kinda think of your blog as a single person. So you can obsess about your day or something with out your 'blog' getting annoyed.
3) The problem about blogging, is tha teverybody can see what you write. So say you type up a big secret or something and then somebody from school ends up finding your blog and reads about it. [This is an example] Then your secret isn't really a secret anymore. You might also accidently spill so me info on your posts. But then again you can always edit that out...

David K (1/2 B) said...

1) I have done a little bit for some other classes, but other than that none.

Emily D said...

1)I have done almost no blogging
2)I think blogging would be a good thing because you can talk to people quickly and reach a large amount of people if you need to.

sarsteffen said...

1) i have almost no blogging exp at all. ;(

2) the ups are that you can talk to anyone and your friends without using the money it would take to do it with a cell phone.

3) You can talk to anyone but anyone can also talk to you, so if you accidently say something personal about you or some one else, it could easily reach the wrong ears, or eyes.
