"Educational Technology Update: Weblogs"

January 13, 2004 By Will Richardson

An article from the University of California probing the use of Weblogs in education. Not much new here, but it is interesting how many of these there seem to be lately…

In education, weblogs are being used in a variety of ways, including providing students an avenue for expressing themselves and for reflecting on what they have learned. They are also used to create collaborative communities for students and instructors as they progress through a course or work on shared projects. They act as a kind of knowledge management system that keeps track of who’s doing what as well as tasks yet to be accomplished. In addition, several faculty publish weblogs to provide commentary and links to resources in their areas of expertise. The UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism is using weblogs extensively, not only to facilitate courses and provide students a publishing medium, but also as a subject of scholarly inquiry.
