1)What is the greatest advantage to having a blog in this course?

I thought that the greatest advantage to having a blog in this course was being able to communicate with other classmates in a very open environment where we could feel free to have open discussions. It was a more rewarding experience then just the regular boring discussion forum on angel that I have always used in the past. I also thought that the blog allowed us to be more personal. We could include information about ourselves and post pictures. I thought it was great how we could update and keep things current if we wanted to. I also enjoyed how some weeks we were given an open topic to blog about and some weeks we were given a specific blog topic and I thought that it kept things interesting and gave us more freedom to have a casual conversation with classmates and or a more professional one.

2)What is the greatest barrier to your successful use of a blog in this course?

The biggest barrier that I had with the blog was the fact that some of the information I posted took a lot of time and effort and I never received any feedback or comments. I know that I was guilty at not always commenting on others posts as well. Other than that, I had no problems with it and really enjoyed creating it and reading what other classmates posted and commented on.

What a weekend!!!

Well, I got married this weekend!!! It was a great day, I could not have asked for things to go any better. Everyone had a great time and now I feel like its all over with and it all went by way too fast. You spend a whole year planning things and then the day flies by and before you know it, its all over. Thank goodness for pictures thats all I have to say. I cannot wait to see them. I guess I also should comment on class as well. I thought that we were going to do more work on our websites because I know that I need some serious help! I thought the video clips we watched were a little goofy but I guess they got the point across. Other than that its spring break/honeymoon for me!

Article Discussion

Overall, I think that my article discussion went very well. I did not get to ask all of my questions but the ones that I did ask developed into very in depth conversations. I felt good about the topics that we discussed and was happy to hear all of the different opinions that people had. I think that it is safe to say that technology is a very controversial topic that has both its ups and downs and that the digital divide is, unfortunately, something that is always going to be present unless we can take the necessary steps to try and close it.
