Finally - My first Blog

I finally have my blog up and running! YAY! I have found this process a little confusing, however I have now figured out how to add posts and customize my profile. This was the user's (myself) fault as Blogger has been very helpful site, it is user friendly and has easy to understand instructions.

Blogging is a web based communication tool (Williams & Jacobs, 2004) and are a way for people to share their thoughts and opinions with others. For FAHE11001 purposes we will be following mine and all other students enrolled in this subject’s progress throughout the course, narrowing in on the different e-learning tools discussed in the courseware. My blog is accessible to everyone in the course and vice versa. We can communicate with each other by leaving comments and feedback for each other. This engages learners because they are able to interact with each other and see what others views are as well as being able to express their own thoughts on the topic in their own blog.
