The Last Blog


I do think I read few interesting things on other students’ blogs. However, I don’t think that I got to know the people much more than I did in person. It was interesting though to read their opinions on some issues.

I definitely agree that the blog reinforced the material we discussed in class. To me that especially has a value because I learn better if I write down the new material. This is why I take a lot of notes, it helps me learn. The way the blog questions were set up, we really had to think about the applications of otherwise dry definitions.

I liked the topics on the Professor’s blog. I learned from them. I wish that there were more of them though. I think it would be good to have a separate post on Professor’s blog, where everyone could post interesting current events.

I wish I can say that I will be posting on the blog after this semester, but having three emails, facebook account and blackboard I am limited with this kind of internet time. Maybe sometime in the future, I’m not sure.

I didn’t like much the format of the blog. The thing that bothered me the most was that when I would be looking trough the blogs I would have to click and open each one separately. It would be great if there would be a way to somehow put everyone in one group so it would be possible to look trough all the blogs as trough a slideshow.
Also it would be great if there would be a way of answering the persons question on their blog. Maybe I am just spoiled with Facebook but there things like that are solved great.
Maybe there could be a group on a Facebook instead on blogger.com?

It it not cool or hip for an internet user to not have a blog these days. However, Facebook is not that cool.

Something that is more of Web 2.5 or Web 3.0, or at least heading towards that direction, may be that is cooler.

Think new and innovate.

Even though there are other means of communication, I really think that the blogs were quite helpful in keeping some sort of communication going in the class.
Even when it was a requirement to reply in timely manner many few people kept up with it. Professor had to announce it several times in the class and bring it to everyone's attention that very few people are replying to others.
