The Benefits of Blogging

Personal Benefits:





1. Has blogging contributed to your personal growth as a writer? Why or why not?





A: Well, that is a kind of tough question to answer. I suppose maybe yes because the assignments I have done for blogging have required me to go online and undertake research into whatever the subject suggests. The main way it has helped me grow, is that it has given me a new skill and a way to not keep my thoughts so personal. Since it is a web page of mine, it makes me feel more like a famous person.





2. Has writing in the blogsphere developed a new voice for you as a writer? Has it shaped a new writing style or form different from the way you write in other spaces?



A: Yes. It has given me the opportunity to share my thoughts about the world on the world wide web. With that said, more people can see what I have to say as a writer.



3. Do you see yourself continuing to blog after this unit ends? Why or why not?

A: I might. If people like my blogs, then I will definitely continue. It all depends on how I feel.

A: For the most part, no. It has only happened with the student teacher who introduced me to blogging. Not many people have seen my blog. nor have I seen theirs.
