Weblogs in Education

Filed in archive Edublogs by mstandaert on March 22, 2004

Weblogg-ed.com is a great site to visit for information on weblogging and education. There may be a number of online courses where you have to submit to a weblog, or start your own weblog as part of the course. This site is a brilliant place to get an overview about how weblogs are used in education.

For example, I'd like to point you to an article by William Richardson about weblogging in the writing classroom.

Here are some highlights from Richard's attendance at the New Jersey Writing Alliance Conference.

Blogging facilitates what Donald Murray refers to as the writer's conversationlinks with the reader as he writes. The immediate audience that Weblogs provide necessitates that conversation, and I have to say that if I've seen one area where student writing has been effected it's in this area.

Blogging allows students to write about real topics that they have a real interest in.

The blogging process teaches an important writing skill that asks students to find and read material relevant to their lives, capture, credit, and synthesize it in writing, publish it to allow others to comment, and then read some more.
