The idea for this week is to look at online discussion and compare it with blogging as a form of social engagement as a learning process. So learning by communicating or learning in groups.
I am not sure how general the understanding is of group learning and whether that need to be reemphasised.
I am also not sure how many students in this group are comfortable with blogs as a fom of online communication that may lead to learning>
There is also the problem that although I woul dlike to lead them through how to make a blog we do not as yet have all of the students up to the same speed on how to listen to walk through because we have not covered Skype or seting up for using earphones or speakers so the only way to cover the setting up of a blog is to create a screen capture of the process and make that available.
The other thing that I am now just thinking of is that the virtual classroom in Blackboard the LMS is not as good as Elluminate in that it does not have an application sharing environment - it can only share web browsing I think.
I need to check that because the chat tomorrow night is really just going to be about the comparison in text chat form and probably not a walk through of the technology for creating a blog as i did with the flexible learning group.
