I personally like discussion forums for an online classroom a little bit better. I feel as though they are more organized, but it is also nice to have the blog and to connect in a different way. I like the blog. I feel more connected to my class. I think the blog is a little more different than the discussion board because it is a little less formal.  I believe a blog would be more meaningful in a more philosophical class. What I mean is that it is more of your thoughts then facts going into the class. I did start a blog as an online learner, but have not updated since I started.

This is not exactly my first blog post ever, but I still have trouble with the concept. My first few weeks as an online learner have been challenging. I have learned that I need to be ore organized than I have ever been before in my life. This scares me a little. I have learned that although I have have difficultly studying on my own at times I like that one can almost set their own pace. It is weird not to have a professor in front of me, but nice to know that they are always an email away. I am strong with at least getting my reading done. I love reading so no problems there!
