When this assignment was originally discussed, I must admit I was a little irritated. I felt that while blogging is a good tool to have for the classroom, but to make us do it, on top of all the other work and responsibilities life has thrown at us, was simply irritating. I, needless to say, was in no rush to get started. Blogging is not something I ever imagined myself doing, nor did I want to blog.
I eventually got started on it. My final assessment on the matter? Ehhh. I'm not particularly pleased with the assignment. I'm glad I was able to see how blogging can be an effective tool in the classroom, and I'm sure it's something I will eventually use. But attaching a grade to it just seems unnecessary.
If I had more time on my hands to sit down and write creatively, I may have felt different. But with a full course load, full time job (75 training sessions per week and counting), wedding preparations and a dog, I simply did not have the time to devote to the assignment. I do not have a laptop and I can not post while at work. I know, it sounds like I'm making excuses, but by the end of the day, after school, work, studying and reading multiple novels, studying for two education courses and dealing with dramas of life, firing up my blog is not something I have time for. The only time I was really able to blog was before class, and that was usually rushed.
In summation, I feel it was a great tool to learn about. I just wish I had more time to dedicate to it.

getting enough time to do something you like or think is valuable seems to be a problem for me as well.
