To Blog or not To Blog.......

    When the blogging idea started, I had no idea what it was about, but once I started ; I learned more about it throughout the class and more from searching throuhout other bloggs. However, to relate the blogging to a management class is definitely has such significant  effect on learning, because it belongs to students who can share ideas and discuss issues about various topics related to management. And because I know my posts are exposed to many other people ,so I must make informative and productive to my follower students and to whoever has any interest in blogging . The idea of blogging about our class's activities is effective in such a way that we learne from each others  ideas and also from a various analysis on various assignments, it also contribut to a discussion produces in the classroom. The value of learning from others' approach is a key that bring the class togather;thus it creates real learning atmospher, which  we can clearly see  within the group interaction and their comments on one another, but to a certain extent.

   It is really hard to measure the magnitude of learning at this point, but I can say that it was not at the level of what it is supposed to be. Many of us fail to comment on each others' blog in critical way or an analytical way. I have visited almost every one’s blog and I scan some and I read others, I found that most girls, for examples got the highest numbers of comments on their blogs, probably they have more interesting ideas to contribute. And even that it is arguable, because most of the comments are; sort of I agree…and so on, and even the comments were part of the assignment, otherwise I doubt it if we would think to comment on each others’ blog.  I’m not here to judge any one, but the fact of the matter is  that the blog was there but we have not used it at level of academic learning. I have no doubt that our class is unique in its diversity and large enough to enrich our learning from management blog. See many of us work in different businesses, sales and services companies, and performs different tasks every day, but yet we missed to learn from each other's work experience. No doubt that some of us encounter or experience various situation at work which he/she may share with class (of course without getting in any ethical issues with their company in terms of privacy)  and we can learn from those experience, likewise the story the professor has shared with us recently in class concerning management issue that lady caused , but  were able to think about in class. It was an informative discussion in class  I believe. I'm sure many of us has encounter many other management issues that we would leaned from.      

    Another advantage we derived from the management class, as a whole, is that activities are group related which creates such enthusiastic environment.  It gave a chance to everyone to express their thoughts in the blog.  But it must reflect such environment in communicating with classmates throughout the blog by assigning more tasks on commenting.  I think multi-difference -out of class group assignment, like MaGangBang, would create such direct communication bridge with one another, which will enhance the blogging communication as well.  I did enjoy this class and  I loved the discussion in class among us, but I’m not sure if I will still use my blog so often after this semester, because I don’t know if someone would read or visit it.

   No matter what , Still. management is life learning.......
