I found lots of blogs by mad people who knit socks (not that knitting socks is mad) - but posting blogs about it!!!
There are a wealth of possibilities to use blogs to support learning but I would like to see a woeking example of best practice.
I think if used correctly blogs are good.
i feel that blogs are becoming less mysterious.
i think that they can be useful if used in an informal way.
Appears to be a good 'tool' could see me using it more from a personal point of view rather than work related, not to say it won't be used in the future as work related. The photoblog was good!
I think blogs could be good if you know how to use them properly. I am not sure how much I would use them at the moment, definately good to know about them for the future though.
i think blogs are very useful if used properly.
could be used effectively in teaching learning
Mysterious medium opened to a lot of subjective interpretations. Excellent platform to spout off personnal opinions, informed or not, and present them as facts. Whether this is a medium suitable for education in the present lack of ethical code, unsure legsilation and College support I remain to be convinced. But I am open to to be converted...
Are blogs an easier way to communicate than discussion groups?
I have looked at blogs and am still not sure as to when I would use it, but now I am wiser as to what its all about, it appears to be an open book to share information but when would I have the time!!!
I think that blogs could be very useful depending of the purpose we have on mind. I really think it could be used a s a lecturing resource if safety features are taken into account.
I am sure that blogs, used in the rigth way, can keep students and lectures in touch allowing feedback to be incorporated.
The tool is interactive, open and very convenient in terms of knoweldge sharing and transfer of information. However, for this tool to be presented to teaching staff without research to support it is questionable. It is not the features of the tool that i question, but, the absence of address to the ethics involved in the dynamics of Lecturer-student interaction.
