Evaluation of the Use of Blog for Learning Purpose - Ellis Wong

Before studying this unit, I have never used a blog before. I have never created my own blog and also never posted anything on a blog for learning purpose. However, after studying this unit, I first found it quite useful because it has allowed me to creat new posts and to comment on my classmates' posts.

At first, I doubted that what is the use of this blog because I thought it could not provide us any theoretical concepts and useful materials related to this unit. However, after all of us had posted our introductory posts, I know what each of my classmates know about this unit; for example, many of us posted the film "Cyborg She" and introduced it in their post. Even I myself had introduced this film in my first introductory post, as I have watched this film before and found it very interesting.

Following the next couples of weeks, each of the groups had to post the information about their presentation every week. It allows me to read through the details about each week's topic and sometimes I posted comments on some of the posts. It is a good way for me to interact with my classmates and to exchange our ideas concerning each week's topic on the blog.

Moreover, we used the blog to post our assignments like the webliography and the news reflection. I found it is a new way to sumbit our assignments as well as to learn some new things that were included in my classmates' posts. Therefore, I think my experience of first using a blog has made my learing more convenient and easier.
