Module 2

The task this module was to create a blog. This, I found not to difficult because to instructions were easy to follow and the video links were instructive and clear. For students the use of blogs is unlimited, not only in the classroom but also in their personal lives. No more of the student who arrives at school with the excuse of not knowing what was the homework for the night before, hence, no homework done.
For those students who lack confidence or are shy, it is much easier for them to put their work, ideas and comments on a blog, where there are not a lot of eyes on them. They have the advantage of being able to edit work and to give and receive comments from other classmates.
I found a couple of web links which could be invaluable for assessment tasks. These were; Sea Ice Physics and Ecosystem experiment and the Australian War Memorial Blog.
Blogging is part of technology today and I think it's great. Whatever will be next!!!
