No names mentioned!

So this week we are asked to view each other's blogs! I looked at several of them and without mentioning any names, these are my reflections:
I find that incorrect grammar and repetition of certain words are very distracting, even in a blog.

I was surprised to see my own name referenced in someone's blog! That was a wake up call, reminding me to be careful about what I wrote. Do I really mean what I write all the time? I thought this person's site was very attractive and loved the picture of the cab. Seemed like a very intellectual blogspot.

I noticed that not all blogs were current and wonder if this is because of a reluctance to publish one's own thoughts.

Authoring Tools

I have been working with a tool called "Toolbook Instructor" lately and it offers some interesting possibilities. It is possible to create custom quizzes that the students can take online. I think that this can be used successfully in a World Language class if the entire computer lab was available during one or two segments.
