Blogging questions

1. What do you like or dislike about keeping a blog for this course?

2. How can keeping a blog make you a more effective teacher?

3. Will you consider continuing to post to your blog after this course is over? Why?

4. Keeping a blog helps you develop four new media literacies:

• Appropriation - The ability to meaningfully sample and remix media content.
• Collective Intelligence - The ability to share and pool knowledge and compare notes with each other toward a common goal.
• Transmedia Navigation.- The ability to follow the flow of information and stories across multiple modalities.
• Networking - The ability to search for synthesizes and disseminate information.

1. I think it's a great tool because it keeps us well organzied with our assignments, we are free to comment on our peers blogs and views as well.

2. It would keep you organzied and if the students in your class have one..it'd make them more organzied too. It would allow other teachers to see your blog as well, and you could share ideas with other teachers.

3. No, because I wouldn't have anything interesting to dicuss on my blog, I have enough social networking sites as it is, this is more of a professional one that my friends don't have. Maybe when I become a teacher I will use one, I feel it's very effective.

Concrete example: Collective Intelligence - The ability to share and pool knowledge and compare notes with each other toward a common goal. This is my peers commented on my blog posts, this shows them comparing and discussing my blog post together.
