I am feeling a level of frustration that cannot be imagined. After investing many hours of my own time to create a group blog for my graduate class, manage it, make necessary corrections when participants posted their post on the wrong page, deleted gadgets, and lost the page setup and other participant work on the blog, I logged in today, and found that I am locked out.
I am too busy for game playing, intentional or unintentional editing, and mistakes that leave the blog inaccessible. If someone made an error, then they need to report that error to the group. I do not have the luxury of setting up another one, and am very upset and concerned as this could also occur in a classroom situation with students.
This happening speaks to the complexity of working in a group in a digital setting. Lessons will be learned from this and will help me to refine how, when and if I will ever use this tool with my students. Perhaps the actual WIKI will not be the format I will choose. Blogger may function better. All in all, frustration and anger will lead me to understanding a better way to do this in the future!
