Nowadays technology is getting better and increasing our possibilities to use different elements that make easy our life and at the same time could be able to help us to learn. That´s the case of blogs, a virtual space in internet where people can write whatever they want.
Writing blogs is a way to improve the student´s skills in grammar, spelling and speed, because they need to think and write everything in english with sense, usually in a short period of time. By using blogs I could improve all this aspects and to write things that before were hard to express for me.
Also a good point is that you can check your classmates´s blogs an post them, and vice versa and, learning of them too. Many people can see your blog and post you , maybe helping you if you have a mistake. That´s what my teacher does.
It´s something written so you can see your first publication and the last one, and to analise how much you have improved your skills. As well as being fun, it´s also easy to use. I like to put some pictures linked with the topic or choose a video, promoting creativity and my own style.
Some limitations are that you can´t talk face to face with other people, it´s only written, because I think is good to interact with classmates and teachers. It´s not possible to focus in pronunciation and that´s an important point if i want to speak properly. Sometimes if your internet service is not good enough, as usually happen, it is not possible to publish your entries.
The blogs, introduced a couple of years ago are a new way to learn and have been a great improvement used in the learning process. I sincerely believe in its effectiveness. I could saw it on myself.
