My Response: I enjoy the blog. It is not something that I naturally proceed to use, however. One of the issues for me is that I could never remember my address and had to constantly look it up. There may be an easier way, however, that issue was one which makes it less habitual for me.
What I did like, however, was the way the blog kept track of your followers so it was easy to follow a blog theme and read the responses of your colleagues to assignment questions. I was fascinated with how everyone had unique blogs despite the use of templates. It seemed that some had actually fixed theirs to be a part of their current classroom. Since I do not have a classroom, I could not do that but I look forward to it.
I suppose I have to find a way to get the blog at my fingertips. I definitely think that it is a tool that can be employed in a classroom. An article that most impressed me on Blogs was the JiTT - Just in Time Teaching article. I think this is a perfect example of how blogs might be used for education. I cite this article in week #3.
This whole experience has encouraged me to think of different ways to instruct students. I hope to actually include in every assignment a technology focus where students can be introduced to new tools as they explore particular contents and subject matter.
