I want to start by saying that I am now a big fan of this teaching method. Blogging was something that I knew absolutely nothing about. I was amazed at just how big the blogging community is. One of the main reasons I like blogging for English 112 and in general is the freedom it gives you in writing. All I knew about illegal immigration before my blogging experience was well pretty much nothing. Now I, like most Americans based my accusations about illegals with out knowing the facts. Blogging helped me add fact with opinion and I now know where I fully stand on the issue off illegal immigration.
When you read a newspaper, magazine, book, ect. You have to read what's published and you have no way to express to them your opinion, with blogging you get that opportunity. You can respond to someones blog with your opinion's whether they be good or bad. Now looking at it from another perspective I like blogging because you can write how and what you want to write about while controlling who reads your blog. So I would definitely say my experience has been a fun, knowledgeable, eye opening experience helping me look outside the box.

I'm glad this writing experience worked for you! I definitely see that you kept your ears and eyes open throughout, and that you were quite gracious with me, especially, throwing a lot of ideas your way. Whether we agree or not, in the end, is less important than whether we keep researching, keep writing for knowledge making, and keep listening to others. It's a great way to write!
