  3. 1. I learned that in a blog you can post pictures along with the post. You can also design and vreate your own personal account so it supports you, and shows who you are as a person.

    2. A indivial one beacuse you can post what needs to be said and not fret about what friends are posting. Even though your still able to seee it.

  4. 1. I learned that blogging allows you to share your thoughts with others. And it gives you a voice on the internet.Blogging lets you share things that interest you. I also learned that you can control who reads your blogs.
    2.I find an individual blog more compelling than a group blog because I would like to know what happened to a single person. And reading about others at the same time would screw up my thought process.

  5. 1. I learned that you can only let a few people see it like your friends, or you can let anyone see it.
    2. An individual blog because you don't have to let anyone see it and you can put what you want. You can say your thoughts about things and put your own thoughts together.

  8. 1. I learned that you can send pictures, text, or even videos to blogger from your mobile device.
    2. I think a group blog is more compelling. Because, I feel like if you had more than just one person working on a blog you can get your point across easier, or even have a debate.

  9. I learned that when you make a blog, there are no rules for what you write and what you post. I would rather do an individual blog, because a group blog gives other people access to your stuff. They could post anything they wanted to about you on your own page.

  10. 1.You can let friends know things that others cant see.
    2.A group blog because its not focusing on one individual.

  14. I learned that a blog can come in all shapes and sizes and there is no real rules it can be whatever you want it to be. I find a group blog most compelling because you get multiple opinions on one subject and can be very interesting to read.

  16. One thing that i learned about blogging in which i did not know was that blogging is a place where you can engage t=your friends. Finally, group because you can then have fun with your friends on the blog site.

  17. I learned that what you blog or post is up to you and you got to take resposibility for those posts. And if you don't want people to know about it than don't post it. I would do the individual blog because a group blog could start an argument between who you are going to be blogging with. You could also put what you want to post and not worry about anybody else.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I learned that you can create your blog to look like yours. You can change the fonts, backgrounds, and colors of the blog. I like working in groups better because you can see what everyonelse feels too. It could change your opinion and make you see things that you would have never thoughtof on your own.

    1. I learned that a blog is a personal diary but people should not put just any information they feel like it about themselves on it. They should limit the things they put on because anyone can see what they put.
    2. I think that a group one would be better because then you get to see all different type of peoples opinions and reactions to what is said. Also because you can hear about there stories if they want to share with you and you can talk with more people.

  20. I learned that a blog is a personal diary and its your opinion and it is private and its pretty much all about what you say.I prefer the individual blog better because people are just focused on what you are saying to the world instead of everybody and so your getting all the attention.

    2. I like a personal one because i think its better to be able to customize everything to your own likings.

  26. I learned more details about blogs. I also learned more reasons why people have blogs. Some people use it for their thoughts, while other could be using it to share pictures, stories, etc.
    I think that a individual blog is more compelling then a group blog. A group blog could be confusing with a bunch of peoples thoughts at once. I like that an individual blog, you read only what you want from one person. I can read other peoples blogs for what I want to read, I dont want to read them all in one blog.

  28. 1. I learned that when posting a blog, it is possible to include photos to go along with your blogs.

    2. I feel that an individual blog is more compelling because it is the thoughts and feelings of one person. Readers are able to relate better.

  29. I learned that there are millions of blogs on the internet and what people say on there is whatever they want it to be. I found a group blog to be more interesting and compelling. I thought this because people could comment and debate things and it would be more interesting to read/participate in.

  30. 1. I learned that you can pick whoever gets to see your blogs and what kind of blog you want them to be. You can litterally write about anything and there is no one to tell you that you're wrong. people can comment and give their opinion and then you start a whole new coversation. Also, there are no official rules to blogging.
    2. I prefer group blogging because you can see many different points of view from tons of people and their opinions might influence you to change what you think. I wouldn't like individual blogs because i personally work better with group work and individual would be too boring.

  31. 1. I didn't know that Blogger was "transforming" the Internet like they claim that it is. Also, I didn't know, exactly, that there were both group and individual blogs, possibly and/or in terms of settings.
    2. Individual, becuase you can have more privacy. Thank you for reading.

  32. I learned from the slides that it's really easy, fun, and enjoyable to post a blog. You can post whatever you want, when you want. Plus it's totally free. I prefer individual blogs better because it's nice to know you can change something, without having to tell the others about what you are changing.

  33. I learned that you can post videos, pictures, and posts from your mobile phone. I find an individual blog more compelling. It lets you post your own thoughts and feelings. The readers will all know its from the same person.

  34. I learned that blogging is free and anyone can have a blog. I also learned that you can post pictures as well as comments. Another thing is I think group blogging is cool because more then one person can edit the blog.

  35. I learned that blogging is free and anyone can do it. I also learner that you choose who sees what you post. You can post things like videos, pictures, or other websites that you like.
    I find a group blog more compelling because then you get different insights. If you hear from more than one person than you can see different viewpoints about the subjects.

    I think that group blogs sound like a lot more fun, because other people can see what you think and you can get to understand other peoples views.

  41. I didnt know that a blog should be ongoing and updated daily. I also didnt know that there arent any real set rules to a blog. Another thing i didnt know was that you can have a group blog with difrent authors. I think that a group blog would be more intersting becuase it can show more points of view. Also the group members that have the blog can have debates and talk about diffrent subjects. They can also be creative in their own way. Thats why i think a group blog is more intesting.

  42. I learned that a blog doesn't have to be public. It can be set so that only people that are authourized to access it are the only people that will see what's being posted.

    I think a group blog is better because in a group blog, more than one person can post something and then you get multiple points of view from one topic.

  43. I learned that a blog is a personal opinion, political view, news outlets, and many more things that you can or could blog about. blogging is very popular now on the web with online social networks and reasearching sites. The blog I think is the most compelling is a group blog because you can find different opinions about a topic and more details from other people and their blog, you also can get more connected with your friends and schoolmates. Comments can be made on your blog for other people to share their personal opinion about your blog.

But i also like group blog because you can communicate with other people about the blog. Also, i learned that blogs should be updated everyday.

  46. I learned that you can post pictures with your blogs and that many people today use them, and you don't really see that most often. Most of the time its people talking about facebook, not blogs.
    Group blogs are what I'd prefer. You get more opinions about one subject that can sway your opinion and others'. Or YOU can change others' thinking too.

  47. 1. I learned that blogs first started in 1999. Also that bloges come in many different shapes and sizes. Blogs let people speak their mines freely and do what ever they want to their own blog. Also many people just use a blog to organize their own thoughts or ideas. Blogs let you connect with people on the web.
    2. I like a group blog because it lets you see different opions and not just one. Also group blogs lets people say things about the same thing and talk it out to see which thing is better without getting into a fight.

  48. I learned that in a blog that they should be updated each day. I didn't know that there were no set guidelines to post. You can post whatever you want.

    I think a individaul blog is better so the things that you post would be more private then a group blog.

  49. You can block users to comment on things. A group blog because you can hear other peoples opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I learned that a blog could be seen by people you choose or you can let it be seen my anyone.
    I think individual blogging would be better so you dont have people on commenting about rude things and you can share things with your friends and family only.

  51. I learned that There are no rules when you are blogging. another thing I learned is they come in all shapes and sizes. I also learned that you ca controll who reads or posts about your blogs. The last thing I learned is that you can blog on your phone

  52. I learned that you can do whatever you want on a blog. I also learned that you can post pictures with your blog. Also you can get the blog on your cell phone and you can ost on it from where ever you are.

    I would rather have an individual blog because then i can express my feelings about whatever I want. When you have a group blog yuo have to talk about specific stuff and i would rather make something up then talkabout something that has been picked for me.

  56. What i know now is that blogger was launched in 1999. It had reshaped, impacted the politics, shaken up journalism, and enabled millions of peole to have a voice and connect them. In my opinion i will rather have a individual blog, because people will be interesting it what you have to put on the blog, and not take too much time looking at other's group or individuals blog.
