Could Blogging Be the Key to Raising a Generation of Great Writers? - Education - GOOD
Interesting article - I know that blogging has definitely pushed me to become a better writer. If you go back to the beginning of this blog, you will see some posts that I put together very quickly and without much thought. Now, I draft all of my posts outside of Tumblr and reread them several times before posting. I would guess that my writing has improved more through writing this blog than it did through my entire time at college.
