Although I find a blog to be very effective in collaborating and discovering new ideas from classmates, it is VERY time consuming at first. I find myself not bothering to look or post items on my blog until I remember to do so, which can sometimes be several days. I think that this is one of the downfalls if students attempt to use blogs. Students can be very forgetful and if students are not consistently thinking of their blog and posting academic information on it, they will lose focus on the purpose of the blog.

I do think that this blog has helped me to become much more organized in my thoughts and notes. I have organized each technology that I wish to post information on in order to ensure that I am completing my blog appropriately. I think this would work for a lot of students as well. I constantly run in to students that are so disorganized that it is the main reason why they fail or struggle in a class. Just because they cannot find a piece of paper, that they KNOW they completed, they lose the grade. Keeping a blog of their thoughts and notes on various topics in a class, can help disorganized students maintain organization and teach them those skills for life.
