I am asked to write if this is my first time blogging. In fact, no it is not. Right now I maintain, to various degrees, six different blogs. They feature everything about information about the animation industry, to my professional writing.
I don't read any regularly, but I do read them as I research things. As they are becoming the "fast and easy cheap website" for anyone to get information out there, they are more and more commonplace. However, that also means being far more discriminatory of what you read as it is easier for inaccurate information to disseminate quickly.
These are not my first classes at LBCC so I have prior familiarity with the online learning environment. e-Zone is functional enough but I must confess finding both Blackboard and ANGEL more organized which I have familiarity with from other institutions. Occasionally I find navigation in particular to be of difficulty.
Excellent observation about being more discriminating on which blogs to read since they are all over the place now. I love the layout of your blog. Very appropriate for this course!
ReplyDeleteWow, you maintain SIX blogs?! I can barely keep up with my Facebook page (that reminds me, maybe I should check it...) I don't generally read any blogs, not even for research, because as you said, how do you know the information is accurate? I doubt many of the people who write blogs take the time to include a bibliography. :) Although I am guilty of checking Wikipedia for information and that is not always accurate either.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably this best blog page I've seen. I really like the layout.
