What a waste of time

I can’t believe I would completely dislike Blogs a couple of years ago. I would look down at people who participated in Blogs and think they had nothing else to do furthermore they should all “get a life”. Isn’t it funny how much I’ve changed my opinion though? I really like Blogs today and I intend to have my own soon. Now I understand people’s motives for Blogging. Whether you write your own Blog or comment on other people’s Blogs, it is interesting and fun anyways! I understand that the reasons why people Blog can go beyond diversion. Some do it for fun, to share their lives with friends, family, in “journal-like” style compositions. Others take it more seriously and develop more of a “newspaper-like” formal, professional writing. Thing is, it doesn’t matter what your intention is, Blogging can certainly help you in several ways. I pursue a teaching career, so I believe Blogging could be a very useful and efficient tool in my profession. I could post materials and resources and share them with my students. I could also host discussions, share my lesson plans, exchange ideas with other peers, get feedback from students and teachers as well, get my students more interested in writing and etc. Why didn’t I think of it before??
