OLDS Journal

I am a trainee secondary teacher, a career changer, back at work after wrangling my kiddos for several years.  This MOOC is my first, and I'm not sure if I will stick to cloudworks for the journaling, perhaps my time would be better spent on my blog.  

I just sorted through years-old papers from a post-bacc teaching program including paper reflections with a few scribbled notes in the margins from my professors.  Will this forum have more usefulness?
