Technology CAN be used to improve student engagement, and therefore learning. We MUST find out how.

Support blogging

December 16th, 2007 by Christen

Who knew the blog was ten years old? Among other things, it has been called a renaissance, “transformational technology” and a waste of time. Have a look at the Support Blogging website and if you don’t already have one, please form an opinion. Clearly this website will guide you to form a particular opinion. I will update with some anti-blogging information as soon as I can access some (probably won’t find it online tee hee) Also, have a look here at some research on the topic of educational blogs. I have specified the Australian classroom in the title of this blog because there are still some dear old Australians who associate the internet with America and America with bad. A pity. I have been looking at the work of some incredibly resourceful educators, mostly American. Look at this cool blog. Its author is very willing to offer advice and encouragement to blog novices.  Also, I started a discussion on my favourite award winning social network, classroom 2.0 I am happy to have engaged some of the world’s leading experts on the subject of educational blogs.

    Obviously your credit card will be in a much better shape than mine if you choose to spend Christmas holiays blogging rather than shopping!! Seriously though - this is a great place to collect thoughts/ideas on the direction of blogs in schools. I promise I will contribute something worthwhile soon - must be off - more shopping to do now!
