Hayley’s Blog

I was reading Jana’s blog on Elgg which was intriguing as I wasn’t entirely convinced on the benefits of social networking for a classroom. But now I realise that it provides students with the chance to interact with their teacher and peers outside the classroom. After all who doesn’t find it quietly satisfying that we can just e-mail our lecturers to get help when ever we need it? In a sense I guess social networking sites such as Elgg act as a sort of online student portfolio in which they can display their work, discuss their school work and gain access to an immediate audience.
