Throughout the year we will use this blog to research, reflect, and communicate. What's great about using a blog is that you are not just writing back and forth with me, but you also have the opportunity to read and react to your peers' comments, too.
In addition, this also links you to your peers in my other classes. This way you can communicate with someone regardless of which period they have class. Because you are writing for an open audience on the internet, you may find that before you know it, you are communicating with people beyond class, the school, and even the state!
Using blogs gives us the opportunity to link information and useful websites to our pages to share what we learn with other people. It's a lot like social networking sites, only here, you can share information relevant to what we are learning about in class.
As many of you start to think about college, it is especially important to think about how internet usage will impact your college experience. (Just think about the fact that we were just starting to use the internet when I was in college, and you can imagine how fast things will change for you!)
More and more courses are offered completely online and almost all colleges and courses have online requirements. The majority of professors expect documents to be exchanged online now. With all of this in mind, consider:
- How might you use your blog in class this year?
- What skills might you use here that will help you in college? In the future?
- What concerns do you have about blogging and how can I help you with them?

From blogging last year I am familiar with how to use it. Its an easier way to hand in work and assignments and I know that its used a lot in college so its good to become familiar with it now to be prepared.
I am going to use my blog in class this year by using it to be updated with homework. The skills I am going to use here will help me in the future by knowing how to blog. I really don't have any concerns because this seems pretty simple.
This is my first year using a blog in school. I'll use it to stay on top of homework assignments. I know colleges use this so I have time to become comfortable with it.
I will use this blog to do homework and keep me on the right track with my reading. This will also help me getting used to using a blog since this is the first time i ever used one. I have no concerns.
This is my first year using a blog for assignments in school. I will use it to keep track of my homework and since colleges may view this I will use it as a gateway. I have no concerns
Im going to use this blog for homework and this will be used in college. So Im start getting used to it before college
I plan on using this Blog for updated homework assignments and discussions with peers. I will also be posting my own reflections in the hope of bettering my writing skills. This will improve my blogging skills which will help in college and in the future.
This blog is for me to keep me updated with what i need to do during the school year. This blog will also help me interact with others. The only concern i have is actually how to use this blog thing.
1) I am going to use this blog by doing homework and classwork and we could also use this blog in college. It is going to help me interact with other peoples opinions on different situations.
2) Some of the skills that I can use are to keep track of my homework and interact with people. When I get to college, I will know how to use this.
3) I have no concerns.
This year i plan on using my blog to learn more about what we do in enlgish 3 cp. I will use this to keep updated on homework and such for this year. Learning to blog will help me keep organized and I need to be organized in college. I don't have any concerns about blogging. Everything seems pretty straight forward.
I will be using this blog for homework and the research paper. In the future it will help me share my opinions openly about other peoples comments. This will also help me make my own blog posts better. One concern that I have is how I would use this for projects and homework regularly.
During the year I'll be able to be up to date on any assignments given in class. The blog will help me by allowing me to write down my thoghts. no concerns>
I might use this blog to know what classwork i need to do, and to also tell others about what i'm doing, i guess. The skills i might use that will help me in college is to do more stuff independent and colleges may want you to do things this way. Concerns i have with blogging is i may forget to always check it as much as i may need to.
This year i may use my blog to keep up with homework and any assignments that are on this blog site. i may also use to to interact with my peers and teacher. i will also use this blog for any websites or link i will need for assignments.
This blog might help me with skill that i may use in college because in college a lot of the work tat professors will give us will be online.
I do not have any concerns about blogging.
-Blogs can help myself and my peers understand or look at something differently like certain scenes of plays or stories we're reading in Ms.Mergott's class.
-Skills that I might use here that can will help me in the future would be more tech savvy and how to develop a custom using blogs or websites to communicate with professors.
-No concerns...yet. :]
This is my first time creating and using a blog. I can use this blogging website to help me with future references and looking up homework. It can really help me in the future and may be very helpful in college.
- No Concerns at the moment.
Blogs are esscential for communicating with others outside the classroom and can help you understand or notice things you didnt before. This will be fun and easy. No it will be ok and stressing unless you have Ms. Mergot :)
1. By using this blog I could get different review and opinions on my writing. Not only from the usual teacher just correcting and handing back, but i can get a point of view from my peers. What may apply to my peers may not be something that applies to the Professor/Teacher or whom ever the critic may be.
2. A skill that may be developed or improved is your personal perspective of the criteria or the literary work.
3. One thing I am concerned about is what is posted on the internet. It doesn't go away so how do we know that another student or anyone wouldn't plagiarizer what someone else posts?
I will use this blog for homework updates, research papers and discussions with my class. This will help my blogging skills improve and share opinions which will be useful in college.
I have no concerns.
This is my first year using this blog and I am looking forward for great results for the future. This blog could be essential for my future reference for my research papers, homework updates, etc. I could use everything I've learned from this activity for college. Skills such as setting up a blog to help me communicate with others or merely express my opinion could be my advantage when entering college.
My only concern is that posting on the internet could be crucial to me since the internet is not a safe place to post, especially with the topic of my blog. Every post could be used against me.
TL;DR: Thanks for reading!!
This is my first year creating and using a blog. This blog would help me in the future because I would be able to post homework and be envolved in discussions. This gives me an advantage on other people who have not yet created a blog. If I have any questions regarding to future class assignments or discussion I would also be able to post it in this blog.
I used blogspot last year in my english class. Blogging allowed me to post homework and reflect on what stories we read. It will prepare me for the future as well.
This is my first time of the year using a blog. I can see that it will help me in the future through homework and see what others have in mind so I can comment along. I have no concern about it.
1.I'll use this blog for for writing down all my thoughts on all the stories we'll read this year.
2. in some collages the teachers will ask us to make blogs for homework so if I use this I would already know how to use a blog.
3. none

1.This is my first time using a blog but I will try my best and use it to look up assignments and hand assignments in aswell.
2.In college and the future, I will use this blog to write papers for the profesor or show co-workers ideas. This blog will basically help me in exchanging information and ideas with people when needed.
3.I will absolutely have difficulty learning how to use this blog and post things on certain pages. I hope that after viewing the pages and how to do everything I will soon understand the procedures that need to be followed for the assignments.
I will use this blog in class to help discuss what we do in class with my peers. This website will help me learn how to blog with professors and classmates when im in college. The only concerns i have is how to use the website.
well first I might use my blog in my class this year to post assignments and include homework so I dont forget to do it. The skills that I might use here that will help me in college or in the future are probably it will make me successful to try to do different things and include techology in my work.The concerns that i have about blogging is that sometimes I might not have a computer available at all times, and having trouble figuring out how to use it but besides fixing my blogger account I think that theres no further questions
