1. What do you like about blogging?
I like blogging because it enables me to express or share my thoughts and feelings with others through online system. It also allows me to reflect on the lessons conducted which help me to refer and recall what have been taught in a particular lesson throughout the 14 weeks.
2. What you do not like about blogging?
The organization of the weekly entry would be the difficult part in blogging. We really need to be careful in organizing the pictures and text well as they did not look messy. We also need to resize the picture nicely as the space provided is small. Sometimes, it will take a hard time to organize all those things in a fine order.
3. What have you gained from blogging e.g. Language skills, improved fluency, critical thinking, improved thought processes, technology skills etc. How?
To be frankly, I have improved my language proficiency especially in writing skills. Since we are required to use formal language in the weekly entry; thus, it help me to reduce the use of short form in any other academic writings. Besides this, blogging also helped me to become critical thinker. Here, I really need to think critically in order to make my weekly entries are interesting and outstanding compared to others.
