Week 2- Task 2 & 3

A) How we are able to navigate around a forum or blog determines if we will continue using it, i know from my experience that if a website is difficult to navigate around i tend to try and find a different website with the same sort of content, the navigation of a website should be easy and straight forward to use and understand. I do believe a forum and blog are a form of online conversation as we are talking to people who are interested in the same things as you are.
On Blogger there are many different blogs which have been running for months or maybe years, this shows how people use this to communicate with others to get advice or information.

B) How we express ourselves on forums and blogs depends on what the topic is and who will be viewing it, for example if this blog was about our emotions it would be written in a different style where as this blog is being used as part of our studies so it has to seem more formal and correct. I think we do still take turns like you would in a face to face conversation as you are waiting for someone to comment or reply to your post. How we express yourselves while blogging and using the forums is different to how we would write our essays as our essays have to be academic and formal.

C) The interaction of blogs and forums seems very different compared to being in a seminar, this maybe because it is all new to me, but i do think that forums and blogs are a good way of learning as you can read what everyone else thinks and feels about the unit.
