A Review of My Blogging Activity

In this posting i will write a review of my blogging activity for SKBP1023-Language & ICT course.


First and foremost, i would like to compliment this course for implementing blogging as one of its assigment. This is because it made this course way interesting and made me look forward to its blogging activities. Moreover, it was fun when we were asked to browse through the online games, language learning websites & educational websites.
Before these activities, i never knew that playing games and surfing the internet could improve ones language.

All the time, i thought the Internet is merely a tool to search for specific imformation and for entertainment purposes only.
Thus, assigments concerning my blog are not only just to obtain marks but has taught me a lot. For example, now i know that there are various English Learning websites which i can browse through if i encounter any difficulty in my BAELS course.

Therefore, it is a practical and effective way for a language student to get to know the Internet and use it to improve ones language. This is because blogging not only made me more aware of the available resources in the Internet but also has given me the oppurtunity to explore into the ICT part of Language.

Blogging has also improved my writing skills in a way that when i write postings for my blog, i'll write as if i'm explaining to someone what i've done.
Hence, i am not so concerned of the vocabulary and grammar aspects, instead i'll take into account whether will an outsider; who knows nothing about my course able to understand my postings when he or she visits my blog. So, i have to write in such a way that anyone who reads my entries will be able to understand whatever i've written.

However, to start blogging, one needs to know and have certain resources. The most important resource is a computer with internet connection. The most troublesome part for me to complete my blog entries is to access the internet. Although there are Internet Cafes, they are quite costly, especially if i were to do my observation of language learning websites using its facility. This is because it would take me at least an hour to browse through one ESL website and write my observation of it. So when i'm back to my hometown, i'll try my very best to complete my postings. That is why my entries for my 4th postings were completed prior to its due date.

Besides this problem, i did not face any other problems because i was familiar with Blogger before i enrolled into university. While i was waiting for my STPM results to be announced, i was an active blogger, thus has another blog entitled Poetic Amoura. Hence, it was easy for me to complete my blogging activities.

Therefore, i would recommend blogging to anyone who wishes to improve their writing skills. This is because it contains lots of features such as Tagboard, whereby anyone who visited your blog can leave their opinions or comments on the board. In addition, it is your blog; so you can write whatever your heart desire as long as it's not a sensitive issue. Hence, the more you practice your writing skills the better your idea will flow; thus, you'll be a better writer. Moreover, you get to play with HTML codes to improve your blog.

As a result, you will not only gain improvement in your writing skills but also attain some ICT knowledge too.

Lastly, i would certainly continue blogging, cause it is like owning my own personal website minus the work of creating it. Blogging is a very versatile way of writing my opinions online and i can share them with my friends via the Internet.
