MoBlogs

In class tonight, we learned all the ways to make our own blog. As I am new at this blogging life, I'm unsure if I'm doing it right now. Our professor did a great activity to get our minds wondering about blogs. Each student received a piece of paper with the question, "Why Blogs are important for the classroom?" We were told to right a number on our paper to make it anonymous and then to put one to two sentences on why we think blogs are important in the classroom. After we everyone wrote their sentences, we then pasted our paper to the right of us and then receive the persons paper from the left of us. We were then to read the persons sentences and then put another statement about why blogs are important. Each person in the classroom received everyone's paper and had a chance to read everyone's ideas. Our professor explained that this was called Chain Notes. The purpose of this activity is to look at the other ways that the rest of the class responded to the question and consider their ideas. After tonight, I feel like I have a better understanding of the way blogs work and I'm looking forward to writing more!
