1) I really liked the convienice of taking part in an online blog study! I also really liked how we were able to read and then respond in more than one sitting, making it it a much more flexable way to do a study. Perhaps the only things I didn't like about it were that I found the format of the blog to be somewhat confusing, especially never having done a blog before. In the beginning of our assignments, I couldn't figure out how to post or read questions.
2) Changes I would recommend for other online blogs would be to have a page you could go to to explain how everything would be set up and the exact steps for posting and responding to other's comments!
3) Yes, I would participate in another book study! I found it a fun and convienent way to read a book with others and see what they thought about the reading. I enjoyed reading others' comments and sharing my thoughts with others!
4) No one responded to any of my posts, so I guess my only comment would be that I wish I would have had more of a conversation with other bloggers, I feel more like I just read others and responded to them with no "conversation". Oh well, it was still fun!

Ashley-I thought I responded to some of your posts so I am sorry that you didn't see any of them! The format of this blog is a little bit confusing to me as well. It is just very difficult for me to have any kind of "conversation" online in this way. That is one reason why I felt that I would do better if we at least all met face to face at the end of the study.....but, the conveinence of doing everything from home is nice as well (when I AM home over Spring Break, that is!)
ReplyDeleteGood feedback, Ashley. I'll be sure to include a brief set of instructions next time. Typically, we have a week between each assignment, giving more people time to blog and respond to each other. This one felt rushed and for that reason, I think there was less of a conversational feel.
