Blogging Around

First, I read Alli's blog. She talked about how she liked the prompts to help guide her in her thinking and especially liked the "blogging around" prompt. Here's my comment-

Alli-
Great post! While sometimes it was hard to create a blog post about a topic about which we did not have much to say, I think all in all you are right that it was good to have a starting point that came from the prompts. I also especially agree with you about your favorite prompt; "blogging around" was definitely my favorite too! It was extremely interesting to read what other people in my class were thinking, especially those who don't get a chance to speak up in class much. I am on the same page as you: blogging was, overall, a great way to get thoughts out!

Next, I read Daniel's blog. He talked about how blogging was a good experience for him, and it was beneficial that it was typed, because his thoughts could come out more quickly, thus creating a more natural blog. Here's my comment-

Daniel-
This is a smashing post. I, too, liked the blogs, and how for the most part, they were a really natural way to express our thoughts. I especially liked your point about how blogs are better typed. I can type a whole lot faster than I can write, so it was helpful to be able to pour out whatever was on my mind, and then sort through it. I don't think I can be quite as happy as you that blogging has never been forced or foreign; for me, I have had some forced moments when I have been forced to squeeze out some so-so ideas about a prompt I don't have much to say about. Overall, though, I agree with your post. Great job!
