First Class: The Morning After

This is my first post on my new blog.
I have assigned the 12 students in my class for Suffolk University's program on Cape Cod (CJN342 Internet Communications) to keep a daily blog. I guess I had better do it too!
The first class went very well, I think. At least I was pleased with it. My goal was to help create a closeknit group of friends, or a "learning community." I think we made good progress. Then I wanted to identify the key questions we all have about the Internet. We developed a long list of questions to consider as a starting point.
I learned that there is a wide range of knowledge among the class members. Some know a great deal about certain areas but very little about other areas.
