I like posting my assignments and getting feedback on it so that I can get better at these assingments. I don't like the fact that it can't be personalized. I mean, it can to an extent, but with 20 choices that are honestly, pretty boring, it doesnt express us, as individuals. Sites like myspace allow pretty much any type of layout that can be personalized to suit you, which I think would be really cool. It would also be good if we had a little more time to blog. Anyway, thats it really, overall I like it. Personally, I like the blogs because its a change from most classes and it suits our generation of myspace, msn and blogging.

Dan, what did you mean by "give out copies of the blogs"... did you mean to provide hardcopy printouts of certain things, like tasks? Also, when you say that there could be problems if a computer is slow or the internet doesn't work, is that something that has affected you personally or were you thinking about it more as a general principle that could affect anyone? Alex, good point about the commenting. I would love it if more of you would take time to add your thoughts to others work, as I think the process of thinking about what you think of others work is important in helping you think about what you think of your own. :-) Hope you know what I mean by that. Michelle, yes, mother's can be SO embarrassing! :-) Kath, in the settings when you post to the blog you can turn commenting on or off. Thanks again. What about the rest of you? I'd like to see a comment from everyone in the class about this. Thanks everyone, I appreciate your comments and I will take what you say on board.

And even for the teachers to have notes and stuff on a blog is so mauch easier than going to photocopy a bunch or even for the students to write them down from an over head or from the board. Like mentioned before, some people may not have very good internet access. This would restrict some people from getting all of the information.

This is becase if a person does not have the best computer or their internet does not work, they will not be able to get the information that the teacher has posted. If i could change one thing, i would make it so that you still have the blogs but you also give out copies of the blogs so that everyone in the class would be able to complete the tasks effectively and efficiently.
