Hello again,
Well after frustrating hours of searching for the "easy edit" button, I finally added myself into the grid!!!
Module 2 was fine - apart from no easy edit button!!!!!!!!!!! - the use of blogs is a great way to share ideas, thoughts and information. Through social network sites I have followed and engaged in blogs. Being able to express yourself in writing, giving yourself time and allowing yourself infinite freedom proves to be an exciting activity.
In the classroom it could be used in many different formats, whether it be via surveys, topic discussions or course evaluations. It can even be used in its simplest form - as a fun and exciting way for students to interact 'socially'. Potentially bridging gaps between students, allowing them to find common ground amongst students they may not normally engage in. Of course though it also acts as a double edged sword with potential for the opposite to occur.
Despite its exciting use in the classroom, it still would need to be monitored heavily to ensure no inappropriate comments were being made....Negative Nelly!!!!!!

Chris I agree that the use of Blogs in the classroom is an exciting way of having students interact with each other on a variety of topics. I also agree that it would need close monitoring to ensure correct use by students.
