Blogging was not really new to me. I had an English class before, in which blogging was part of the homework assignment. However, I don't remember much about that anymore. That's just because the entire procedure was ineffective: We would just post the blogs, but did not need to respond to anyone. We were only 15 in the class, but I did not know them at all.
I think blogging was a great aspect of our Management class and I enjoyed it a lot! It was an awesome tool to get to know the many, many classmates in the beginning. And as time went by, I realized that I got addicted to blogging. My boyfriend was complaining why I had to spend several hours reading and responding to blogs!
I am a shy person and I usually don't speak up in class, but through the blogs I also could express myself about the issues we discussed in class. Also if we actually have to write something that happened in class, we remember it much longer. I still keep talking about the egg activity like it was yesterday because we had to write about it. I wish the blogs would count for more than 20% of our grade. It's a fun assignment to boost my grade for me. I highly recommend blogging for future classes.
My one suggestion is to have a rotation of who responds to whose blog for a particular entry, such that in the end everyone gets 3 comments. I found that some people would get many comments and some people would get none. Also this is a good way to make sure that we read postings from all of the classmates.
