      First, I have been updating my blog every week with a designated topic. Whenever I have time to upload a journal, I write a short story. I also decorate blog as if this blog is one of my house. I am interesting in all about making blog. In my life, I have tried several times to create my own blog or homepage, but I failed every single time I tried. Therefore, making self-access learning blog is one of my lucky chances I have.
      The only obstacle I face during creating the blog is lack of technological knowledge. I am not that close with computer. It is not because that I am a girl. It is just because I don't need computer so I don't use it as usual as others. When I heard that this class will be taught by using computer, I felt two different feelings. One is that I will be extremely struggling to do well in this class and the other one is that this is fortunate opportunity to learn how to use computer without braking it.
      I don't know whether this is appropriate to call time as my barrier. I am not grumbling about assignment that professors are giving but I really have not had enough time to make this blog a better one. I spend about four hours in a bus to commute and I take 6 hours of classes on average every day. This only leaves me 4 hours to do homework if I subtract 2 hours of meal time. I hope that someone would understand me and do not consider me as a lazy student.
            The purpose of making this blog is to learn an effective way to teach students. By creating the blog, I can use this as a material for teaching. Also, during making process, I am accustomed to use English in writing because I had to write journals in English. In
     The organizations of this blog is complicated which means that I applied lots of new skills and software in the blog. There are HTML/javascript, icons from widget, page heads, search box, lists of links and, profile.
     I have a list of my favorite sites; Watch drama from Mgoon.com, listen to the music from Youtube and search from Naver. I also linked bbclearningenglish.com to get used to usage of english. Moreover, there are a plenty of sites that can help students to learn English with ease.
     Even if there will be no one who is going to keep checking me to posting blog anymore, I am planning to continue blogging. I mentioned several times that this is my first time I have ever made blog and keep posting. Therefore, this blog means a lot to me. Even though I have to quite a lot of effort to do that but I am ready for it.
    
     I feel grateful to professor who planned this class and put many efforts to help students like me to make the blog.
