Yesterday, it came to my mind that maybe the blog is causing too much trouble. People do not have access to internet, or they are not web literate enough to deal with these types of tools. So, I was thinking of ending this blog, and looking for another non-technical way of writing journals. Right now, I am pondering: To use blogger or not.
I would like to receive feedback. Should we continue or should we find another way to do this? Please, let me know.
In order to make an informed decision. I want you to read this tutorial (click on the link). There is also a blog that discusses the benefits and pitfalls of using blogs.
I will make my decision next class, so please let me know what do you think of this tool.
Have a great week (and keep working in your newsletter article)
Prof. Eva

hello teacher. in my case it is true that I have not internet in my house, but this hasn´t prevented me to send my blog and for me is a new experience and I liked it because it is good to learn to use these herrmientas and give my ideas and what I feel. I'm sorry if someone else doesn´t share my ideas, and you know what I think of you as a teacher. thank.bye
Thanks, Lorenza.
It's good to know that someone thinks a blog is a good tool for sharing ideas.
Thanks for posting today :)
Hello everybody....
To let you know my opinion I think this blog is a good tool to work, because it keeps us in touch and also helps us develop our writing. Maybe a tips to not end up with this blog would be given more time to answer the blog that you assign a week.
well I hope my opinion helps somewhat ...
See You!!!
Thanks, Maria Hilda. That would be a good suggestion. I will think about it.
Take care,
Prof. Eva
Hi I think that maybe some students are lazy (I´m sorry but is true). If you have time to facebook, twitter, my space and all kinds of social network in the internet; why I can´t have a little time to the blog. I consider this a very good tool and is a good way to impruve our skills.So, "I Want To Blog".
Thanks, Leida for the feedback. When I decided to use a blog was because I thought it might help all of you to interact and improve your writing skills.
Have a great week!
Prof. Eva
...So I got a request to join the Blog and give some feedback :) Thanks to whoever that sent the envite!
I miss blogging for my classes! Actually I did when I took Written Communication III and it was a nice experience. Guys, keeping a blog should be fun, it's your chance to interact smoothly with class peeps and the teacher. Sometimes we don't say a word in class so the blog is a tool to express yourself freely and of course become more written fluent. Bottom line: start taking it more seriously not only because it's being graded, but because you ain't gonna improve your skills if you don't practice ;-)
I say, Blog!

Thanks, Jiniva! I am glad you accepted the invitation. I think your opinions will enrich our blog a lot. I also think that you can join us in another project: The Newsletter :)
I'm glad that you liked the blogging experience that we had in the previous course. What I like about blogging is that it allows more interaction between peers,and it allows me to focus on grammar points that may be reinforced in class.
Thanks again! and keep blogging :)
Regards,
Prof. Eva
I ivite you nini :-D thanks 4 comming
Hi everybody
I consider this tool is beneficial for us because by this way we can say our opinion about different topics... in my personal case I think we should keep this way of communication for interchanging our experiences...
Well teacher I think that the blog is an important tool for us.If true that someone’s of the classroom don't have internet in theirs house but if you put this tool to get a part of our grade is a responsibility make our best effort but there are people that think that this can't help us but they are wrong as you said we can improve our writing kills. Is our responsibility and we needed to continue with the blog sorry with the person that don't have time or internet this is for the good of all.

HI PROFESSOR
IN MY OPINION ABOUT THIS Is THAT I´¨ll SUGGEST TO KEEP THE "BLOG". IT´S SO IMPORTANT IN THIS TIMES AND WE ARE TALKING WITH STUDENTS FROM UNIVERSITY SO I´LL SAID THAT DON´T LISTEN TO NEGATIVE AND LAZY PEOPLE WHO DOESNT WANT TO GROW AS PROFFESIONAL. WITH THIS I WILL SAID HOMEWORK , EVEN THOUGH A DON ´T HAVE INTERNET AT HOME THAT IT´s MAKE ME WORK TO PRACTICE WRITTING AND TO COMMUNICATE IN ENGLISH .STUDENTS HOW DO YOU THINK YOU GOING TO LEARN IF YOU DON¨T WANT TO USE THIS TOOLS.
TEACHER EVA PLEASE KEEP IT UP...
AND IF YOU HAVE MORE IDEAS BRING ON..
THANKS AND HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

hi, i think it is not the best decision to end the blog, because it is a tool that helps us at least one time a week to write a blog. I think you only have the points for those who write on the blog and those who really care about their work. because if they do not care! who is going to help? have a nice week.
Well, I think that the blog is very important and should not stop writing because it helps us much, in addition, it is true that many of us have no internet at home but is a responsibility to write because the tasks of a university must be a priority . see you soon.
Hello! teacher, I know sometimes the people that work don't have enough time to access internet or don't have internet in their home to do the blog, but we are adult we have to be responsable with our homework so don't quit the blog that is a useful tool for our develop. Thanks!
Hello Dear professor!! I think that Leyda have reason!! Because many students in this blog have time to Facebook and not to their responsibilities. They always have the excuse of work and there are many times that I see on facebook. Who wants to lie in this way is easy to win a note or extra points. I think you only read the title and write they. The blog is not just writing for writing you can learn from the comments of other students. If you close your blog, professor learned a lot through this. Thanks You!!
Thanks Irma and Merykarla for your feedback. One of my main concerns is not laziness but the fact that some people do not have internet access at home.
Let's see how it goes.
Regards,
Prof. Eva
Thanks, Rudy! I am thinking about the points... Have to make some changes here.
Regards,
Prof. Eva
Hello Melisa,
I agree with you that students have to be responsible and that the university has to be a priority for you if you would like to be a good professional.
Regards,
Prof. Eva
Thanks, Javier.
I know that perhaps you are the one in that situation, and I really appreciate your feedback and effort to comment on the blog.
Regards,
Prof. Eva
Thanks Anthony.
I appreciate your comments and I do agree with you. I will have to make some changes though.
Regards,
Prof. Eva
Hello Dear Students,
I think that after reading your comments, I have decided to keep the blog. There would be some changes though. Here they are:
1. New blogs will be published on Friday.
2. You will have until Thursday midgnight to develop the blog task.
3. You will get extra points if you comment on somebody else's post.
What do you think?
Regards,
Prof. Eva
Hi professor: I`m Exis
I send my oppinion about the technology, but is as Anonymous and before of last paragraph is my name.
I`m sorry.
Have a good day
Some technological devices essential to our lives.
Perhaps you see this point of maturity of each student. for me the most important technological devices would be used in hospitals that lets us know exactly what type of problem we have as a doctor can help us by giving us a good treatment because of these. also used for communication such as computers, because with this device, we can communicate across the world, another device with a great importance is the phone, although all these equipment have their advantages and disadvantages if the human being know how to use properly
