The impact of this class

This class has proven beneficial in numerous ways. First, it has opened my knowledge to more technologies out there for teaching purposes than simply showing a DVD using the computer. I like blogging, although I find it hard to squeeze in a post when so many papers are coming due. I have looked at wikis after Annan had said she made one for her students. I looked at it and have looked at some of the discussion posts. This has led me to think of ideas relating to my thesis, as I have not yet started thinking of a topic nor have I thoguht of committee members. So, I had a chat yesterday with a professor about wikis in L2 learning for a thesis topic. There is a lot of benefit out there for using wikis in L2 learning (I wrote a paper for ENGL 670: L2 vocabulary acquisition on the topic). However, the students are enrolled at SCSU and should thus have an SCSU pin/password to sign in so that information doesn't leave SCSU territory. So, I thought of collaborative learning in general and how it fits in with SCSU's program, D2L. There is a blogging function there, but I am wondering how it can be used, or how the layout is similar to or different from Blogger.
