Now that we have tried a blog and used it in our class, comment on your experience. 
What do you think about using a blog in class?
Was this better than if we did the same lesson in the class?
Do you learn better using a computer?

    Blogging is much funner than boring old hand writing. It is nice that you are able to look at what other people thought about the question.Plus, it puts your mind and hands at ease from writing.

    The bloggingwas weay better than writing it on a piece of paper .reading other peoples comments was very cool. I learn way better on the computer because its way more fun. the blogging was 110% more fun than writing it out on paper.Thougt there were some stupid comments lkike Jackson and the Medevil and Dragons other than that it was fun

  • Randy

    I love doing blogs!!!! You should teach us how to make blogs ourselves. A blog is better than a class discussion because if you don’t want to be judged, you can go Anonymous.

    I think that blogging was way more fun than having a writers cramp.
    It is way more fun on a computer and i learn better. I can also read the vivd dark black of the words on the paper-large screen better then the dull grey that is graphite. It was also fun reading the comments of others which is another thing that you can’t do with paper and pencil. I liked being in parteners with david because he had almost nothing to contribute and blogging is fun so i got to do most of it although i do like being in my own one man group instead of having to split the work. so over all i give the unlimited possibilities of blogging 10 out of 10 and that is why. it was even fun writing this message and you can probably see that it is nothing like what i wrote on gloomy paper(that is what my summarys are: all change it is almost pointless to write a rough draft: I’ll just come up with something new to write by the time im ready to type although i do anyways.) I love computers and will do almost anything that has something to do with comuters so this was great and i finaly see why lots of people do it. wow, i just saw how long this is. i dont believe that i wrote (or typed) all that.

  • David

    Yes because it is easier. Yes because it is funner. I like the computer better for learning because it is super fun.

  • Tristan

    I like BLoging. It is better on the computer because you don’t have a hard time reading what i put down.

  • Danielle

    It was a good way to show us what a blog was. I would love to do this again. I learned better on the computer because it was fun.

  • Nicole

    Nicole- I think it was really fun and cool to get to work on computers and do blogs.I think I learned more about blogs on the computers because I got to see what my classmates had to say.I would definetly want to do it again.On a scale from one to ten a rate it a nine or a ten. It was a really fun thing to do.It was cool getting to read what your classmates had to say.It was a really good idea to start doing blogs.

  • Ashley

    I think blogging is fun and it is really cool seeing all of the comments. I think I learn better on the computer because that way I wan’t to learn about it and it is a fun way to learn. Yes I’d love to do this again, It is cool and i like responding to comments others have wrote. We should keep blogging because by the sounds of it a lot of pepole like it to.

  • matt

    I think blogging is a good experience because it is realy fun. Whe you you answer a question after you are done you get to go and see what other peole said. Sometimes I do learn better on a computer then on a piece of paper. I would like to use it again because its a good way to learn and it is very fun.

  • Heavenly

    The blogging was really cool. I liked it. I think we should do more of blogging and record our sayings like Mrs.uhren. The experience was fun and interesting.

  • Adrienne

    I agree with everyone that blogging is awsome! I learn better in the classroom and on computers. I think your blog is cool because I don’t thhink I’ve ever seen or read a blog before so yours would be the first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Nate

    It was fun. It was better than doing it in class. I hope I get to do it again. I learn better on the computer because it is not as hard as writing with your hand all day.

  • Alia

    I learn better in class because I think computers slow you down. Today I learned what a blog is and how they work.

  • Shayla

    I think blogging is funner, cooler, and better. I think that you learn more in blogging than in class discussion because you can read everyones questions and you can comment back, it is a lot quieter.

  • Jack

    Blogging is better than writing but sometimes it got kinda boring.

  • Logan

    I think that doing the blog with a partner is way better because we learn more and we get farther. I think it is better on a computer because I learn more stuff on the computer.

  • Mrs. Uhren

    Thank- you for your comments. I think it is important to remember we all learn in different ways and that blogging and using the computer is definately one way we can learn.

    Brain Based Blogging

    One of the great benefits of blogging is that there are so many other people who can contribute to your comments and make the conversation so much richer!
