I have always heard of people creating blogs and inviting me to view their blog, but I never had the time to try it for myself. Watching the YouTube video made it seem easy to do and it was. I enjoyed the opportunity to personalize my blog. I am still not satisfied with the way it looks. I like the fact that it is not a permanent setting. I can change the way it looks or feels at anytime.
I could see this as a good tool for my students when we take field trips to see different dance performances. They can blog about what they saw in terms of costumes, choreography, and performance. They can comment on each others blogs and provide insight to what their classmate may or may not have seen. This could work well with their in class performances too.
I, too, put off starting my own blog. Likewise, I think it will take some time before I am satisfied with the appearance of my blog, but I tend to be that way with a lot of things. I like your idea of using a blog with your field trips!
