week six- task 4

withi in our own blooging community, i believe that the experts are us the students and those that do the most reading, and have a fuller understanding of the readings are more like the experts because they can express there opinions to the other students and maybe help them understand it more. But also we have the lecturers, although maybe dont contribute as much as other students, but still have a broader knowledge and so they could also be counted as the experts. The new comers are less people who are new, but more people who are not familiarising themselves with the material and therefore they are learning from the "experts" who are helping them understand material that maybe they dont understand. These positions can switch from week to week, because some people may understand different articles better than others, so there are no fixed roles, Students may also be able to give the teachers insite into ideas that maybe they have never thought about before.

The people who are excluded are generally people who are not on our course, because to many people what we are talking about would not interest the general publice and other media students wouldnt necessairily know what we are doing to be able to access and comment on our blogs in the first place. i think that definatly people can become experts over time , the more they blog and the more they read other peoples blogs.
