Blogs

I actually looked at the DIM student blogs previously, at the end of the summer, I wanted to get a understanding of the extent of the assessments. I also wanted to look at what sort of thing the students were doing for their final projects.
Like I said before I was disappointed with the final pieces I saw and their intial ideas. I stand by this. I am myself a perfectionist and quite pickky. But I have seen the most amazing work produced by students over the years, which has probably set a benchmark in my mind.
By looking at the students blogs you can actually tell who really put time in. I'm sure some people backdated, but if they backdated a mass of well constructed entries, thats more than what others did . I wonder if the same will be true of this year?, will there still be students who leave it till the month before the last to post anything?

So far using the blog has been possitive, although posting on multiple blogs almost every evening is time consuming and hopefully noticed, I find I have to write down things first before going straight onto a post, as on many occasion doing the opposite I've been timed out and even crashed my blog.
Blogger.com, I recommend although it lacks the space of live journal and the buddie thing (probably various other things). I find it enjoyable as its so straightforward to post even without thinking.
