Conclusion

It is time now to write about my experience during the last two months with creating a blog. When the teacher asked us to do so, I was surprised because it was the first time I heard about an academic blog since I am used only with my friends’ blogs where they can post their pictures or funny things.

First of all, the experience was very useful because I learned many new things which have a relation with my academic life; for example, I learned how to develop my information literacy skills and how to use the different tools that we have to complete a research or to look for specific information. The latter happened from the first step of the blog process which was finding a book that has a relation with my topic and actually, when I found and read it, I learned a lot from the author experience. Another step which I really appreciated is finding an academic source using a database research. In fact, I have never heard about such engines to search, and I sincerely realized that it has a large amount of information which are credible and reliable and it becomes my research engine since the day I discovered it, and I use it in other courses to look for information and sometimes even to read just to enrich my knowledge. Finally, I learned how to evaluate the credibility and the reliability of the sources, so that I can avoid trusting everyone who is writing or publishing something.

To sum up, the blog was an interesting experience especially, when it comes to my topic which is the bad effects of technology since I learned how to be aware when using it. I also advise all people to work seriously on the blog because it will help them in their life.
