Blogging Blog

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

I like posting the creative things that we've created to our blogs in this couse.  It's interesting to see the other people's work. 

 

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

Blogging is a good way to communicate to students.  Maybe in a classroom, the students could create blogs and then could use them to communicate with each other and the teacher. 

 

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

I will probably not continue posting to my blog after the course is over because no one sees my postings but me (and Professor Lindstrom for class purposes).  Therefore, it would seem a little pointless. 

 

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.

By creating the Think Aloud, I have learned about using a blog for transmedia navigation.
