Final Post
Take a moment to write your final post about which PBA future emerging market tool (product or service) you have used and which one you would like to see more of.
Well I have used quite a few but blog tops the list. I have been using it even before I started MET and think it has the potential to change the future of teaching and learning. Through blogs I have done a number of presentations with MET and have seen its effectiveness based on the interactive package it brings. Also, I have used it for class and the social features have been pulling students to use it. As a result, I would like to see more of it in the classrooms and investors taking up the challenge and try to improve the current package.

Hi Everton,
I also like blogs for PBA. I’ve used a blog mostly for my classes, but haven’t used it for social features. Some of my students have used it for discussion and socialization (They still need to work on blog etiquette though). I’d also like to see more of it for the educational use.

Deb,
That is the route I would like to see blogs go too. Maybe they could also upgrade it to an LMS to facilitate the complete learning experience in a single package.

I agree with you all – blogs have such potential!!! They can also be “created” and designed in so many different ways as demonstrated by the ETEC blog project group…Using blogs for advertising (products and services) and paying for an online course that uses blogs as a learning tool (like ETEC522) offer two ways blogs can make money….I think accepting that blogs offer a service and have the potential to influence profit makes them so powerful….
