Over the past several class periods, the topic of group organization as well as discussions of ethics regarding blogging have yielded some extremely diverse answers. Should we stick to the 'code of ethics' we adopt in the classroom, that of common courtesy and respect?Some seem to think that'anything goes' while online. For instance, if an individual disagrees with another's point about the reading, you are allowed to disagree using whatever means you want. This approach isn't something I necessarily agree with. There are other, more beneficial ways of proving a point than to be cruel. Why is it necessary to attack someone?
Another debated subject for the past few class periods has been group work. So far, group have been working well for us. It's nice to be able to divide up to work so it is not so overwhelming. We decided that meeting every week isn't essential, but that every once in a while (face to face) would prove to be more beneficial. We will be doing most of our communication through our own blog.

It seems a little weird but this blog and all the others are our classroom. Basically there is an extension of stern 303 with all the same rules and etiquette still applicable. We still have to see each other twice a week so I dont think anyone will really overstep boundaries or say things that wouldnt actually be said in class.

I definitely have taken that attitude as well. I wouldn't leave a comment on someone's blog that I wouldn't say to that individual in person. However, in the class discussion we had on Thursday, not all felt that way. Some thought it was appropriate to use whatever language\ means to get a point across.
