When i was navigating on the Internet for an answer to my questions about the blog and what are its uses, I found the pros and cons of it .. The threat in my mind to remind you of some of the advantages and also disadvantages .. Here are some of them :
The advantages of blogs :
The advantages of blogs :
- The consumer and citizen are potentially better informed and this can only be good for the long-term health of our societies and economies.
- Blogs have potential to help the organization develop stronger relationships and brand loyalty with its customers, as they interact with the ‘human face’ of the organization through blogs.
- Blogs, in an intranet environment, can be an excellent way of sharing knowledge within the organization.
- Blogs can be a positive way of getting feedback, and keeping your finger on the pulse, as readers react to certain pieces, suggest story ideas, etc.
- Blogs can build the profile of the writer, showcasing the organization as having talent and expertise
- Most people don’t have very much to say that’s interesting, and/or are unable to write down their ideas in a compelling and clear manner.
- I have often found that the people who have most time to write have least to say, and the people who have most to say don’t have enough time to write it.
- Like practically everything else on the Web, blogs are easy to start and hard to maintain. Writing coherently is one of the most difficult and time-consuming tasks for a human being to undertake. So, far from blogs being a cheap strategy, they are a very expensive one, in that they eat up time. As a result, many blogs are not updated, thus damaging rather than enhancing the reputation of the organization.
Bassma you've provide us with useful information. There are many ideas I fully support and encourage you to make use of in your studies. First, blogs can create a learning environment that extend beyond the schoolyard'' I agree with this idea because I have read more then one research that indicate the importance of learning outside the classroom. The surrounding environment is rich engough to teach you what teachers can provide you with. Furthermore, once students express themselves in blogs and read what their colleagues have written, they gradually enhance their learning and these information will never be forgetting.
ردحذفOn the other side I dissagree with two of your ideas. ''I have often found that the people who have most time to write have least to say, and the people who have most to say don’t have enough time to write it''. In my opinion, those who are interested in expanding their learning will do their best to catch such chances. And the topics will be are types of their perfernce, but we can't generalize such claim, since we all of different backgrounds.
What you've written is wonderful nad concise.
Many thenks.
