Because I will leave for vacation during the night tonight, I've got to post some week 5 stuff now. If I get back late Saturday next week I'll try to post some responses then also.
Wikispaces: How are they different from blogs? Well, I found one note on a website that said blogs were personal and wikis were collaborative. I thought this was a really good explination. Although blogs can have comments, they are very personal spaces where people express their ides and allow others to respond. Wikispaces on the other hand is collaborative in the way a chat room or IMs can be, but are more long lasting. Chatrooms are nice, but rather temporary to those there in the chat. Wikispaces last over time but provide the more collabotive feel of a chat.
LECUTUREWARE: What? why in the world would I want to just sit at my computer watching a standart lecture. How horrible that would be. If I wanted that I would just go to a normal classroom setting. But I get ahead of myself. This has many good things going on. First It allows for those they may have issues getting back and forth to the classroom a way to similate the classroom experience. Perhaps those with a broken pelvis or a very contagious ailment. Still, if you are going to use the Web and computers for online delivery, you really should be doing more than just broadcasting the lecture to the students.
Well, I'll take a break and try to respond to more of the week 5 stuff later.
