I read an article called "Weblogs: Learning in Public" which was written by Jill Walker, a teacher from University of Bergen, Norway. The article was about blogging in the web. I found the whole article very interesting, especially the real life examples of students' experiences about blogging. The whole article got me thinking a lot about my own writing in the web and the contents of social media. The teacher who wrote the article compared downloading music and blogging to plagiarism. I think this was very important point because we have to be very careful that we use the references properly in our school assignments. I have learned a lot about plagiarism in school this year and at least I'm paying much more attention to referencing now than I used to.
The writer of the article said that blogging can be the same for brains than going to the gym is for body. I agree in this because I think it's very refreshing to write about my thoughts and feelings every once in a while. Even though right now there are not many readers on my blog I don't really mind that other people read my text. Even so, I think about what I can write on the net because I don't want to put anything negative or unnecessary about anyone. Learning about blogging and doing it myself has been an entirely new experience for me but so far I've had only positive feelings towards it.
