Final Comments on Blogging

We have come to the end of our semester and the to the end of our classroom blog. I would like you to post your comments, opinions, and suggestions as they relate to the classroom blog. I am interested in the positive and negative experiences with the blog. Please avoid generalizations. Be specific. Some questions to keep in mind when posting your final comments:
1. Did I enjoy the blogging experience and why?
2. Did blogging help me learn about the novel and about non-narrative writing?
3. Was reading peer posts helpful?
4. Was feedback from peers helpful?
5. Was it enjoyable?
6. Would you like to participate in another classroom blog?
7. How was the blog different than oral classroom discussions?
8. Were you comfortable with this form of learning?
9. Was this an easy or difficult task? Why?
10. Did the classroom blog build your confidence in writing?

Thank you for all your participation.
