Week Two

Hello everyone,

You're doing a great job on your blogs. I've really had a great time 'surfing' the different pages and seeing all your photos, posts and comments. Thank you for taking time to answer my blog question also.

One of the great aspects of blogging is that anyone can use them for almost any purpose. Current research says that there the blogosphereare has over 70 million bloggers and it's growing every day. Common uses of blogs include, journals, news, columns, editorials, collaborative writing projects, and publishing research.

Here are a few examples of blogs that you might enjoy.

Final post for session one

I want to thank all of you for your hard work as bloggers. You put a lot of effort into your blogs and into your communication skills. Many of you posted over thirty comments and some over forty. There was a total of 297 questions and 882 comments posted. There was also an improvement in your writing as most of your questions became more complex and authentic towards the end of the session. I also noticed that 31 of you managed to alter your blogs with images, video, widgets, colored fonts and more.

I hope that this experience has made you feel more confident about using a computer and given you some ideas for your own teaching.

My last question for the session is; Is there any other technology that you would like to learn more about for yourself or for your teaching?
