To Blog or Not to Blog

Have you noticed that our MESMS LMC homepage has changed? This new page is actually a blog instead of a regular webpage. What's the difference? A blog is short for weblog. The wonderful thing about a blog is that it is not a static, view only, webpage. It is an interactive page. Anyone who visits the page can add comments and share their thoughts about the topic currently posted.

I hope that you will make frequent comments to our blog so that we will be able to have many exciting conversations about a wide variety of topics throughout the year. We may even have conversations that are shared around the world!


Please share your thoughts about this new homepage format. Do you like it or not? Why or why not? When you post a comment using the link below, please do not use your name, use only your initials.


Coming soon....
Check back for the starting date for our Lunch Bunch Book Club!

    Hello-

    I love the look of your new LMC site. I predict that the students will be instantly attracted to the blogging capability. Of course this means that the more they write, the more time you'll spend reviewing their posts!

    Congratulations on creating an on-line collaborative learning space!
