Notes from the morning introductory session's discussion

Blogging

• Odd mix of being old yet vibrant
• Differences from discussion boards?
  • personal presence
  • more widely read
• community
• hybrid forms
  • community and recommenders Daily Kos
  • building knowledge base
• Blackboard intersection
  • social software is too much to add to already burdened student experience
  • technology problems
    • multiple logins, silos
    • so single sign-on is a selection criterion for new tools
