It was so totally frustrating that I was near to scrapping the whole idea of blogs. It took hours of surfing. I remember asking my tutor, who replied, "I personally think blogs are highly over-rated." <br /><br />Luckily it was also a motivator to find out why in the world blogging should be so great. It was well worth my time in the end, and you could certainly profit from it - we made a list of blogs to look through for the course!Illya Arnethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861197769628094809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590498834596675896.post-38928009826617619912010-05-24T11:56:41.452-07:002010-05-24T11:56:41.452-07:00Dear John,

Most schools in Argentina do not have a computer in the classroom and I taught many years with technology without a computer in the classroom.<br /><br />My biggest challenge was to create an online space totally different from our traditional classroom and to keep the conversation rolling. Therefore I had to include a lot of games and interactive activities.<br /><br />Nowadays with a computer in the classroom it is much easier to motivate students as you are there to show them what they have to do.<br /><br />Regards<br />JenniferJennifer Verschoorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02078490438052061880noreply@blogger.com
