Blogs in the Composition Classroom

March 6, 2004 By Will Richardson

A presentation by Joe Moxley, Patricia Roy and Anne Jones from the University of South Florida at the Symposium on 21st Century Teaching Technologies:

Weblogging offers teachers a unique way to engage students in the Composition classroom. As a tool, blogs allow students to post and archive their work in a way that is easy to use and access. As a genre, blogs offer students new rhetorical situations in which to communicate their ideas. Our work explores the various metaphors applicable to blogs — blog as journal, blog as news column, blog as annotated bibliography, blog as meeting place — in order to more fully realize the potential blogs have for preparing students for advanced learning and professional writing situations.
