Using blogs in my English class

I think that using blogs to practice English is a good activity because we are taking advantage of technology to communicate, to learn about our classmates, and to put our ideas in order.  Every time we write in English, we need to search for the appropriate vocabulary to convey our ideas, we are practicing grammar, and we have a deep trip into our thoughts and attitude towards a specific topic.

Depending on our interests, some topics are more inspirational than others and it easier to write about something we want to communicate, something we want to share with others. When I had to write about technology for example, it was just a task but when I wrote about photography, I really enjoyed the process because I was emotionally involved about my grandfather’s memories, the same thing happened when I wrote about my favorite song.

However, motivated or not about a topic, I think that when we have to write about different things, we are forced to improve our vocabulary and our knowledge about something. When we discussed about gender and stereotypes in class, I learned about the topic from my students, I also learned from my students with their presentations, I think that at least half of the posts should be chosen by the students so they would have the opportunity to write about what they want to and there would be some consistency between topics discussed in class and the post you have to write about in the laboratory.
