Hey, I was already a follower of Richard Byrne’s twitter account. Great minds...and all I guess. His blog was very cool and very help full. I liked that he could explain things about the links that he has instead of just having a huge list of links like others that I have been to. A lot of times the links are a huge waste of time and you have to spend more time searching through them to even find one usable one. This would have to be the most informative blog, (besides our wonderful teachers) that I have seen. It was easy to navigate and clean and not cluttered with tons of junk, at least on the left hand of the page. It was kind of cool to have already seen a lot that he had to offer makes me feel like I am getting around the web pretty well.
As for using a blog like this at my school it is not allowed. We are not allowed to go outside the schools own gaggle account. We had tried to keep a class blog to keep notes and assignments for students and study hall teachers to look at but we were told no. Sometimes they are block by the server and kids cannot get to them or they just had too many problems I guess. Are school is starting to purchase or develop their own versions of blogs but now they are pushing a new product this year called Angel. Angel is just like the Blackboard system we use for this class. I have even been told that Blackboard has purchased Angel and next year there could be a bunch of changes coming. Ah technology you just have to love it.
