Blog in school......
So now I can search the net during class... Now I can write to another student in Russia about Film history or about the state of toe fungus ... so what write.
Well I think this is a great thing... why go sit in a class staring at a teacher who has repeated the same leature over and over and over until it doen't mean anything anymore. Why wouldn't it be better to have a blog that you could log in and have group classes, upload assignments and ask questions in real time..... I know personally contact is always better and lost a lot in all of this whole internet world, but come on some of these basic classes are so big anyway. I would rather be able to do work on my own at my own pace without have stupid people ask dumb question just because they were not listen in the first place... plus then I could go back and reread the leature and get more in depth with it.
Okay so if that is a big step then maybe it could at least be part of class. Make the class be bi monthly. One week it blog and work time and the other week it is in class stuff. That would definaly work better in a enviroment like cal arts. It is supposed to be all about the art here. But as a undergrad it feels like sometimes I am so bogged down by the busy work that is given in the CS class..... It probably would help with skipping.
So anyway I think that it is great that teacher are starting blog..... I think teaching is going to expand to many different forms that are only going to benifit students....
Long live the blog!!!!!!!!!!
