Over the last 4 months I have been blogging as part of my Visual Communications: Culture and Creativity module at Swansea Metropolitan University. When I first began blogging I didn't see how this could be a useful resource and seemed to me like a waste of time. As time has passed and I have submitted posts on this blog, it has become personal to me, and I have begun to see the useful side of this resource. It has been nice to have an assignment in the form of a blog as I haven't really noticed the build up of words and content in the same way as a written assignment. I believe this creates a much easier feel and working on it has been much more enjoyable than writing a standard 2500 word assignment.
I sincerely recommend creating your own blog; whether for educational reasons or not, as it is an easy way to keep your thoughts together and submit posts on subjects close to your mind. It can also be used to follow other blogs. For example, Your friend is going on a trip around Asia and if he posts on his blog during the trip. If you follow him, you can be with him through this trip. Hearing about everything he's doing. Or for instance, the Lifehacker blog; that I currently follow. This blog contains useful information for everyday life.
