Final Post: Blog Evaluation

I think the blog was a noble idea, but I would have liked to see it on Blackboard. In my other classes, we use blackboard as a discussion forum and it was equally, if not more, user friendly. I often had difficulties signing onto the blog, and the formatting of a long list of entries (instead of individual links and threads) made reading other people's observations appear daunting. But I did like hearing about other people's experiences, as well as writing about my own. Another positive of Blogger.com is that it creates a more informal forum than Blackboard to discuss our experiences and, as a result, I was often more candid and honest. Overall, I liked the idea of sharing our experiences on an online forum. However, I think Blackboard would be a better choice.
