gPerrin’s Reflections, Etc

I have noticed that blogs have different writing genres. Some are formal, others are conversational, still others are academic. Many are impressive to me as a newbie to blogging.

Reading blogs are like having conversations with the author and looking at he comments is like listening in on a conversation. Maybe I am in a booth and overhear a conversation, then I am allowed to comment and it is a welcomed comment by all. Being someone who likes to know what’s going on, reading blogs are great for me.

The writing of a blog sometimes is like a newspaper article, or a letter to a friend. It often share the authors feelings so it is personal in nature.

Commenting contributes to the writing and meaning by allowing insight into others opinions of the blog and allows answers to questions by the blogger or another commenter.

There may be blogging literacy but for people just getting into blogging, it is not a formal way of doing the blog thing. Blogging may affect the way one reads and write but I have noticed that one read and write the way they usually read and write, so if used in teaching, corrections may be made in grammar, etc. if it would add to the learning experience.

I could see how blogging could facilitate learning by providing another means to get input from the teacher and peers. Also a way to express themselves. I have read at least 5 of the blogs and kept reading instead of writing which is why this is so very late. It is late now but I am happy to get this posted so I can forge on!

Speaking about the blogs I read,

As I looked further into this blog, it was more and more interesting.
