1. I think that keeping a blog for this class is very appropriate because it is a technology class. Blogging is also a creative way to get the class involved and interact without being face-to-face. There wasn't too many dislikes about keeping a blog for this class, they weren't hard and I thought we were given enough time to do them in.
2. I think that posting a blog helps you become a more effective teacher because in a technology based world it integrates simple technology into the classroom. Using something simple like blogging keeps the students interests longer rather than just book work. With such a technology based time and age it should be very important to have that in a lesson and use it. It will not only keep you up-to-date (and be a cool teacher) it is also safe and easy for everyone to use.
3. As far as posting after this class I'm not so sure. I personally never really understood the point of blogging, but I can see where it can be helpful and exciting in the classroom. I never had the urge to blog. But I might post something once in a while if I wanted to vent.
4. Collective Intelligence - The ability to share and pool knowledge and compare notes with each other toward a common goal. From blogging with the class I was able to share ideas and get feedback > At the same time I was able to give feedback to others and see what others thought.
