This was my first time setting up and using a blog. For previous classes, we were supposed to post on one of the professor’s blogs, but we never got any feedback or a sense of how these really work. Blogger made it very easy to set one up – a few clicks and we’re up and running. I still don’t know what the “follower” title refers to. Does this mean that new posts go into their RSS feed? Using the blog seems to make communication within our group a lot easier. Everything is all in one place—instead of having to click all around WebTycho. Does that annoy anyone else? I also want to learn about the differences between a blog and a wiki; the line between them is still a little blurry. I found another blog post that has entertaining explanations of the two services (and these videos).
Jaime,
ReplyDeleteAs another blogging newbie, I can totally relate to your post. The videos are a nice touch and they really explain a lot thanks for posting them. By the way, yes, I too get annoyed with Webtycho, there is a lot of clicking around. It seems odd that you can click out of the conferences to look at the course content or got to the library. Thanks again, this is a great post.
I agree with you regardin Webtycho. I really like how you inserted the videos into your blog, matybe I will try that once I get it all figured out.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think I've taken a survey about Webtycho for each course in the program so far, but it seems like the questions they ask about don't relate to the actual program.
