Why Blog?

A blog, or weblog, is simply an online diary that you can share with others. In the context of learning new skills a blog can be helpful in a number of ways:

  • By writing down what you are doing you are consolidating your new learning. The written word is a way of representing something in a language that others can understand. When you write down your successes and failures, your difficulties and triumphs, you are not only sharing them with others but you are refining your own understanding of them.
  • It keeps you engaged with the process. Just a short note every day, or every few days becomes an important part of a learning routine that brings you back to the site, where all of your resources and fellow learners are and reminds you of the journey that you're on.
  • It helps you monitor your progress. Fast or slow it doesn't matter the important thing is that you see some results from all your efforts. Documenting your travels is a great way to look back on them.

I'll see if I can do the same, my journey will different to yours but then our journey's are all different.

 

Good luck
