Blogging as a learning tool?

I've never really looked at blogs before but having checked out a couple, I'm beginning to see the benefits of it. Bb is much more cumbersome to follow. This flows much better and as bellawright as posted, this is out there in the clouds for us to come back to way beyond this class and the potential for feedback is enormous. As we've told our son, your competition for jobs is now the whole world, with this blog our resources for feedback can potentially be the whole world. Once I get the hang of this and can navigate this easier, I'm thinking this will be a great learning tool.
