Blackboard can offer interaction with people who are from, and live in different places other than where I live and am from. An example of this is that I live in Isaan, Thailand and am from Finland and New Zealand. Other people who do Blackboard live in New Zealand, Spain, or the United Arab Emirates and come from Thailand or New Zealand etc. Blackboard also gives feedback pretty quick compared to lets say, posting mail. I have sent lots of work(my booklets) ages ago, and I mean AGES AGO and have only received a few back. Another good thing about blackboard is that I can interract with English speaking people. The place where I live only has a couple foreign men. There are no foreign kids in this province, let alone foreign kids my age!
These are all good things about black board, but there are also some down sides. When you attach a piece of work, you can't actually open the the attachment to see if it's the right one(or if there is a way, I haven't found it yet!). Sometimes I send off the wrong attachments because of this. It would be nice if we could change or edit what we've done. For an example, if we accidentally put the wrong attachment, then the person who put up the work could go back and attach the right one. This is one thing that I especially like about this blogger site. Right now I can't think of any other thing that I would like to do with my online learning that black board doesn't do. If I think of anything, then I will put up my idea.

Hi Emma
ReplyDeleteI agree with you in so many ways about blackboard. It can be a real pain when you don't know what document you are attaching and then you can't remove it. One thing that may help with that is being really careful and very precise about naming your documents. It would also help me if you put your first name in your doc name.
I didn't realise that you were the only foreigners in your particular part of the world. That must be quite strange!
