Blogs in Education Giti Javidi Spring 2011

What is a Blog? A blog (sometimes referred to as a weblog) is a Web publishing tool that allows authors to quickly and easily self-publish text, artwork, links to other blogs or Web sites, and a whole array of other content. Blogs are set-up like conventional Web sites, with navigation links, and other standard Web site features. Blogs have one standard characteristic, however: the posting. Blog postings are text entries, similar to a diary or journal, which include a posting date and may include comments by people other than the author, photos, links, or other digital media.

Why Blog? Blogs work well for students because they can be worked on at virtually any time, in any place with an Internet- enabled computer. Hence, they can be used by computer savvy teachers to create a classroom that extends beyond the boundaries of the school yard.

Blog are User Friendly… Fortunately for teachers, blogs are surprisingly easy to use. They require minimum technical knowledge and are quickly and easily created and maintained. Unlike many traditional Web sites, they are flexible in design and can be changed relatively easily. Best of all, students will find them convenient and accessible via home or library computers.

Blogs are: ◦ Highly motivating to students, especially those who otherwise might not become participants in classrooms. ◦ Excellent opportunities for students to read and write. ◦ Effective forums for collaboration and discussion. ◦ Powerful tools to enable scaffold learning or mentoring to occur.
