Reflections on self.net

I found Self.net an interesting experience due to the use of weblogs and computer based learnng skills. The weblog was informative- I thought the contributors made very well constructed and interesting commentaies on the weekly readings and beyond. From this I would have to agree that weblogs are a useful educational tool- however sometimes it is difficult to find time during the study hours to peruse the weblog.
Being a university weblog would also make it useful because it is regulated by teaching staff and is clearly not inundated with irrelevant comments.
I found Gray's article Posthuman Possibilities the most informative in regards to the cyborg theory. A t the beginning of the course I found the proposition somewhat obscure- people as beings of technoscience? However, if something as irreverent as piercings is considered as a form of transformation then without a doubt we are all morphing into a posthuman like creature.
I found the workshops quite varied and interesting as we analysed a spectrum of different cultural mediums and subjects. The tutorials were an adequate time period to discuss and interpret the interesting readings.
I found the webliography a little confusing but it was a learning experience.
