Since I am updating a blog it seems only appropriate to discuss how blogging is being used in the education field.
According to Michael Petrilli, blogging is popular but education blogging is not widespread yet. Why is this so? There could be a number of reasons including: unfamiliarity with the technology or a failure to understand how it can be applied appropriately.
Whatever the reason, blogging is part of Web 2.0 so come on people and get going!!!

How much different is blogging than just posting something on a discussion board or Facebook? Sometimes just checking my three email accounts and catching up on Facebook once a week is a challenge. Maybe the reason why it hasn't caught on in the field of education is the stack of papers to grade at night, too!

I read this comment back when it was first made but forgot to moderate so everyone could see it.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I don't have a stack of papers to grade when I come home but I do have a thousand other things vying for my attention. I think it works well for some people and not others...I don't think it suits me very well to be honest.
