blogging in the 2.0 classroom

Blogging in the 2.0 Classroom

Why?

- to facilitate enriched discussion

- to teach, support, extend, develop students’ abilities to organize knowledge

How?

A blog is not a neutral space:

- discussion must be taught

- work towards ensuring a reasonable comfort level with skills

  • blog orientation sessions
  • handouts with screen shots (what’s an url?)

Start with a  low entry exercise to establish all of this.
