Edublogging in the News Part #2

By

Has anyone seen this yet? I knew it would be out about now, but I haven’t gotten a copy yet:

“In its February 2003 issue, Technology & Learning has an article entitled “Writing with Web Logs” by Kristen Kennedy that gives resources for educators in using blogging in the classroom for writing assignments. In the print issue, this article runs from page 11 to page 14.” (Via “Jenny”)

I spoke with her for about an hour back in December, so I’m really interested to see what the article says. Sounds big! Remember what I said about news coming in threes…two down.

BTW, this is precisely why we need to have some content ready for teachers interested in picking this stuff up. At eBN, we need a FAQ, pronto. Anyone wanna Wiki one? Or should we just have at it?

  • What is a Web log?
  • How have Web logs been used in the classroom?
  • How do Web logs impact learning?
  • What ages do Web logs work with?
  • How do I set one up?
  • Do I need to know HTML?
  • What is Manila?
  • What is the eBN?
  • What other Web log softwares are eBN members using?
  • What about security and privacy issues?
  • How much does having a Web log cost?
  • What about hosting and server issues?

    More? I’ve Wiki-ed the above and have added some content. Let’s see if we can crank something out in the next day or two for the eBN site. (PS…If you don’t know how to Wiki, check out the instructions.)
