Blogs in Education

Talks on adopting technology, specifically blogging, into education. Tomorrow's education. Using blogs as an educational tool and part of the curriculum. Awareness and understanding will lead to adoption. Persuasion - it will bring skills to kids (one level is writing, another is interacting with topics, the other is most definitely technology). Adoption - learn from others. "In their weblogs, students exercise critical thinking, take creative risks, and make sophisticated use of language and design elements. In doing so, the students acquire skills that may be useful to them in both scholarly and professional contexts."

What about adoption? What does it do?
- media literacy - course information management
- make those lessons extend
- getting people involved on other levels (great for shy, ESL or others to open up)
- summarize readings so they can participate more in class
- give project info
- Group blogging - user-centred learning
