Here is an interesting link to an article in The Chronicle on blogging. I particularly took interest in the question of what problem is being solved by using technology in the classroom? More particularly I think we should be asking what learning outcomes are best served through the use of technology?
My stimulus for creating this blog was a classroom assignment and although other students who have been blogging for some time claim that this is actually a "fun" activity I am still a little skeptical only because I can see this being way too time consuming. Does assigning this in a class make this process less enjoyable or some how take away from the true meaning that can be found in blogging?
WELCOME!
WELCOME!
I created this Google Blogger page in order to develop a single site in which members of the higher education community can share ideas, tools, opinions, the last news.
As you can see, I've already created a higher education news feed with the Chronicle and Inside Higher Ed daily updates, and I am hoping that with our creativity, technology skills, etc. that there will be much more on the way!
