    1. The web is a network for conversations, and if students still see their audience as a teacher with a red pen, then nothing changes.

      A student needs to get past this idea to be successful, what are some ways we could encourage that?

    2. assigning papers or short answer assignments to be posted online through blogs.

      I had to do this for one of my classes in my first year. Because I was used to traditional paper assignments from high school, this made me uncomfortable and unsure if I should change my style of writing because it was on a blog. However, now that I have gotten used to it and had more experience with it, I am much more comfortable and empowered by it.

    1. It allows them to demonstrate their learning to others beyond the classroom walls

      Students are more likely to use this skill after college unlike the facts they memorize for exams and forget a week later

    2. other schools have picked up on the program’s relevance in today’s world 

      With this idea spreading, it could also help students when they are looking for employment after college. They would be able to tell potential employers they run their own domain, and refer them to it for things like online resumes or pages of their work that they have created.

    3. Students have control over the look and feel of their own sites, including what’s shared publicly.

      This independence and ability to control encourages student's creativity online. This gives students the ability to express themselves beyond what they do in the classroom
