To Blog or Not to Blog: Does it make a difference?

This question is a tricky one for me, because I am not entirely sure how to answer. I don't entirely think it's the pure fact that I'm typing this in a blog, as opposed to pen and paper, that makes me favor my homework in this class over others. I believe it has less to do with where I'm writing as assignment down, but more to do with what exactly the assignment is. Being able to listen to a Beatles song or play Oregon Trail for homework- well, that is very nice! Not only is it entertaining, but surprising and interesting when you realize how easily history can be tied in with such things. So, regardless of where these words were written, I appreciated the assignments because they allowed me to practice making connections and realize a lot of things about the Us and it's history I never knew.
