Writing Assingnment #1 : how do you feel about blogging

   With almost no prior experience, setting up a blog seemed almost effortless. The site is set on a simple layout, which is what makes it easy. This is the first time I have used blogging  for educational purposes. I look forward to see what happens.
  
   Using a blog may be beneficial to this course. By doing so,  we will be saved from numerous hand cramps and hundreds of wasted paper balls. It will also come in handy while having to use online resources for note taking, as well as recording links to websites. After being a student for almost twelve years, I believe that my written work is completed with more progress by means of computer access. I find that it is easier to compare my ideas when I am able to see them aside one another, rather than having to cross out or erase them. It is easier to connect ideas in this manner and will reduce the chances of having to hand in late assignments.     
  
   As of now, I am uncertain about the idea of this blog being open to the public. The opinions that may come from a third party slightly worry me. If others were to discover my thoughts, would they judge me by my perspective on various topics? In other cases, however, I believe that it is a good means of communication of  these thoughts, because psychology is quite often based on  gray matter. I often wonder if others think as similarly as I . The chance that some of my material being used in further psychology related material and studies may never happen, but the idea of it is kind of exciting. My intention for this blog is to broaden the mind set of other psychology students, as well as the general public. I'm not exactly stuck on it yet, but I have a feeling that I may consider using such means in the near future.
