First posting!

This is one of the first times that I have used a blog outside of my Blackboard distance learning courses.  I teach psychology and am looking for new ways to incorporate technologies into my course. Psychology is a great topic to use blogs, because there are so many controversial issues and topics that can be discussed, such as ethical standards for research, or should punishment such as spanking be used to discipline a child.

  1. Hi melissa,

    this is also my first time using a blog outside Bb. It is kind of challenging, and it certainly make me think of what we can write about as well as the comments that we can make. What if there is nothing to comment about?? I guess a good blog invites to some reflection and it could help us be better thinkers and share with others out thoughts.

  2. Hi Melissa: Thanks for the links you posted on my Diigo social bookmarking page. I agree that the social sciences can benefit from this type of technology
