class 3/30

I continue to be surprised by the ease of which some of the programs that we are exploring are used. The wiki page and the blog page that we are creating all are set up in a way that makes it easy and kind of fun and challenging to navigate and create. Before we had done these assignments I was a little apprehensive about the difficulty some of these programs would pose to the user. Blog pages and wiki pages are a great way to keep students and parents informed on the things taking place in the classroom. I could see using a blog as an extra credit device where you might have a question of the day and an optional response to those that choose to comment on the question. It also gives parent and students a nice way of finding out some information on the teacher and some activities and links that may be to educatiional sites that would coincide with the lessons that are being taught in class.
