Why blackboard .... did we restrict no, some had bb problems and we needed them to get on with it ! :D
Communication device - the Blog, Course wide blog
Graphic Arts brief - blog - had to complete so many posts , so many screen shots added to blog
students loved publishing - get stuff out there

“Learnng how to use social media is a significant element in contemporary information literacy. You donʼt need to come to university in order to use Twitter, but we can help you put it in a
longer context, and help you use it in ways that are critical, smart and directed at enhancing course content and objectives.” Dr Jason Wilson University of Wollongong
take it one step further this is why we need to teach it as everyone can do it anyway !
