New class...new ideas for Blogging

During our first class session for "Internet Learning Resource"  the instructor asked us if we enjoy and thing that our blogs useful.  I do think that they can have some value to them, but I wish we had a different way of setting it up.  We were asked if we can think of some way to do our blogging differently.  I do like this site, but I wish I had more immediate feedback as well as the ability to see many of my peers posts at one time, rather than having to click on their link.  I know that clicking on a link isn't hard, but since there are ways of sharing information, such as Facebook, this way just seems to be a little "old fashion."  I am very use to going on Facebook and seeing the live feed of all of my friends.  If somehow our blogs could be intertwined with some presentation software like that, I think I would enjoy it more.  I really am not sure how this could be done, but if anyone out there has an idea, I would like to hear it.  It think a lot of my peers would like to hear it as well.

As for what I have learned this past week, I really liked being introduced to Wikis.  I have found it very easy to enter my assignments and the Wiki in general is easy to use.  If you are unsure of what a Wiki is, it's just a site that is set up that can be edited by many people.  You have an area that tells you what you need to type about and you just edit and post your ideas under it.  I have used Wikipedia before and understand that is how Wikipedia works, but I haven't actually ever changed anything on that site.  It's fun to experience something similar to that in class as well as getting to use something different in this program than the Angel program and Google docs.  Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy those two programs, but I do like learning about other options.
