Unlike writing an assignment, essay or report a blog is written quickly and is an immediate reflection an expression to your thoughts that is written quickly and published almost instantly. Blogging also allows for a personal touch and opinion on a subject matter to be discussed and is a far more relaxed and informal way of writing. For students this can sometimes be an outlet and a way to learn in a different style.
