The Joy of Edublogging.

Never have I imagined I would do such a thing such as edublogging in my life. The first time we were asked to create one, I felt terrified because honestly, I don't know how to start doing it. The first thought that came to my mind is that I'm doing this so that I can accomplish what I should do. I never thought I would enjoy doing this.

Edublogging has taught me a lot of things. First is being able to utilize the knowledge that I have. For me, this is a great thing because the things I know are being useful. Also, I learned how to gather information and share it on how I understand it. I may not be very good in doing such blogs but I actually enjoy doing it. I like the fact that I could freely express myself in this. Expressing myself is a very fun thing to do. Also, the fact that others can read my posts and learn from them makes me feel good. Not only can I express myself, I can also impart it with others.

Respect, a word I never realized I could connect with edublogging. In edublogging, respect is very important. Respect for the works of other people is important. Proper citation of references and sources is important. Before, I never realized how important citing is. Sometimes, I even feel like it is not necessary at all. But since the day I tried edublogging, I suddenly understood what the authors might feel if they weren't properly cited. My work wasn't as good as the others but somehow I felt proud of it because I know it's mine. I realized that I would feel really offended if my work is used and I was not properly acknowledged.

To sum it all up, edublogging has taught me a lot of things. Not only did it teach me to knowledgeable with certain topics but it taught me things that I could use in the future. Though I felt terrified at first, now I feel thankful that I was given the chance to do so. And with all that I experienced and learned through this, I never regret that I did edublogging. :)
