Week 2 25th January

Today was a total failure. 1 hour of class time was wasted on trying to get online, log on students' blog, and create new blogs. They could not get online, and when they do the connection doesn't stay long. When they got into blogger, the could not log on. Those who wanted to create a blog faced the same problem. I'm not what's the problem but I'm guessing the following:

  • the internet connection is bad at the lab
  • too many people from the same location trying to get into the same site, thus it is jammed up

If this goes on then I'm doomed. I either have to look for another lab with better connection or have them to blog outside of class time.

This problem might dampen the student's excitement (if there's any) towards the use of blog in this class. It can influence their entire perception towards blogging till the end of the semester. Then that is bad for me. I pray to get to God to help me.
