Continue the discussion on the discussion board


2. Journal contains students’ thoughts, concerns, or struggles as he/she works to complete the work indicated. Journal also indicates a plan to resolve conflict or possible solutions to problems. If class readings are assigned for the week.

At this point, I am trying to keep my blog up-to-date. I have been working on my website, making adjustments that will give it more functionality. I am sorry that I missed the chat discussion with my classmates. I have used a chat of sorts for my classroom. I have done several webconferences (using my webcam) with people from around the world. I have communicated with contacts in Ghana, China, Malaysia, Palestine, and Utah (not particularly international). I will add a chat feature to my website for fun, if I can pull it off. I seem to struggle with motivation for the class. I am not real clear of the expectations for the class. I guess we do weekly assignments, then our overall projects are the two websites (one instructional and one informational). I need to do the reading for this week, but should get some time today to accomplish it.


3.Students will discuss the assigned class readings and indicate how the articles have impacted their web development.

This last articles I read involved various forms of communication with your viewers (chat, message boards, Listservs). I commented on the discussion board that I have used all forms of the communication listed and researched. I personally like the discussion board aspect to keep an ongoing discussion of a topic. Several years ago I was interested in the chats and chat rooms. But as I become more mature and have more responsibility, I can not tie up a huge chunk of time chatting.
