Blogs are normally (and boringly) known as an online journal or a diary for personal blogs. I personally never took blogging seriously as I do not usually express my opinions by writing. Embarrassing enough, a Y-generation does not use social media to talk about their interests and opinions (even though I have Facebook). Interestingly enough, reading Adrian Miles’ “Blogs in Media Education’ gave me another perspective on blogging. He mentioned the positive outcomes of blogging in our media studies. It definitely does help us, students, in tertiary education to take notes and reflect on the notes. We can even continuously discuss on our opinions and probably questions that arises during classes and research on it more. Instead of just knowing the information, it is written down in your blog to discuss further and understand the different views on a certain key concept. We could even go back to it if another related information arises in the future.
