More then that I enjoy getting a glimpse into the everyday lives of my instructor and my fellow students. I have taken many classes with the same students so it really adds that personal element. Not being "in class" with the other students can make it difficult to get to know one another. By blogging I feel like maybe I know them better then I would if we did have a physical classroom. I also enjoy blogging for fun which creates a "scrapbook" for my family. I think I will continue to blog on my education, this way I can reflect back on the journey. I hope that my other instructors will pick up on this wonderful way of communicating to their students and vice versa. I could see it working in many different areas of my education.
