Eperiences with setting up and using blogs

Prior to this course, the only blogging I had done was a wikispace for a edtc 615.  I did not have difficulties setting up this blog. The instructions were clear, the steps were easy to follow and the blogspot is user friendly and easy to navigate. I have enjoyed using this web site to assist in collaborative learning with my students after setting up my classroom blog. Posting discussions on blogs is a good way of sharing your thoughts without being to informal yet less academic. To me it serves the purpose of self expressions and though sharing without expecting a grade.

I have been encouraging some of my colleagues to set up blogs; with the rationale that the students are constantly on social networking sites ; therefore blogging is an excellent way of letting them express themselves without thinking about grades but as a medium for sharing their thoughts and responses and questions to different themes, issues or topics.
