The educated blogger
Wednesday, June 9, 2004
[The educated blogger] explores the role of weblogs or “blogs” in classroom settings. Blogs, which resemble personal journals or diaries and provide an online venue where self%u2013expression and creativity is encouraged and online communities are built, provide an excellent opportunity for educators to advance literacy through storytelling and dialogue. This paper explores the importance of literacy and storytelling in learning, and then juxtaposes these concepts with the features of blogs. The paper also reviews examples of blogs in practice.
Blogs actually have an even greater potential than just what the paper discusses. The beauty of blogging software is that it makes publishing as easy as filling out a form. This clears the way for authors to concentrate on their content.
