another go at E learning

I am undecided as to whether I should start a new blog or continue with this one. By typing here now I will at least have a record of the continuation of this one, that I may change later. For this task, we have to blog about the usefulness of a blog in our own learning context: "In it, provide a brief evaluation of the functionality of a blog and its usefulness in your learning context." I am going to copy some of my previous posts to put here, as they are still applicable.

"The more I do this, the more apparent it becomes to me that Blogging is a good way of encouraging people to write, and also to think about what it is they are actually writing. This relates to the idea that literacy is about communicating with others, through a means that has common rules and conventions."
"I am constantly checking for meaning and also to be sure that I am not being offensive to anyone. In looking at this process from the point of veiw of a student, it could be seen as a way of intrinsically motivating, that is, the motivation for doing it properly comes from within. Looking a bit deeper, however, there could be seen to be extrinsic motivation at work: make it the best you can, otherwise you may look like a bit of a clown in front of your peers."

Add another Blog post. In the second post, upload your concept map of the information covered in topic 1.
