The use of this whole blog thingy for the management class was an interesting experience for me. It is something that I've never done before and something that I had to get used to. I kinda don't enjoy having to write stuff like this especially papers but to be quite honest this was quite bad at all.
The purpose of the blog was for classmates to interact with each other on topics discussed in class and the various class activities via comments on each other blog. For the most part the comments were helpful allowing you to view someone else's point of view on what you had to say and it did create a way to voice your opinion in a comfortable setting and not having to worry too much on their immediate reaction depending on what you had to say.
The blog did provide a way to comment on how the class activities turned out and to better understand its purpose once you had time to ponder on it for a little while longer then discuss it on the blog and get others opinions.
There were some interesting topics posted on the professor's blog that were not directly related to the class which provided a little off topic thinking to gain a little extra knowledge, basically a little something extra to think about. I found it useful. There can't be too much of these off topic blogs posted since this bares the risk of swaying people's attention to what is needed to focus on to complete the class so therefore the amount posted was enough.
This blog was a great way to earn an easy 20% of our grade and proved to be effective. It in some ways eased the pressure of having to depend entirely on exams as a means of being graded for this class.
Would I continue this blogging after the class is over? Honestly, I don't know yet.
This blog was a good idea and I definitely recommend that it be continued for other classes.

YEa me too I dun't know if I'm going to continue with the blogs. But I defintly think I am going to do the thing on the Prof. Blog about waking up every morining and writing atleast a page of my thoughts. I think you should try that too its something new.
That's right!
I have never done before this kind of thing like you. This is easy to communicate with other people and share with their opinion and earn something. I agree with you it is a good idea to continue for other classes. Writing is just boring but the blog is not boring. It is a very unique assignment.
Thank you for sharing when we did our group activities. You did a really good job.
I agree that it is easier to communicate with classmates through the blog. Some people do not like to talk in class so this online feature is easier to use. I also agree that the professor had great posts that did not pertain to the class really. It focused on other issues that I never really thought about before
The blog's purpose was for interaction but I feel that it could have been better. Many people respond to the same individual's blog which doesn't really create new interaction. Perhaps if we were forced into different activity groups and responded to our new group member nlogs, the purpose will be easier to achieve.
