Thing 4 – Blogging Begans With Reading
- What do you notice about the genre of blog writing in general?
I see blogging as excellent tool in allowing educators to comment on educational topics of concern, collaborate on effective teaching strategies with colleagues, and establish a written communication with students and parents. I see edublogs as good teacher stuff. No longer do I have to spend hours on the web researching information on specific subject manner, looking for ideas in teacher resources stores or books stores. Now I can find information quickly on edublog.
- (How) is blog reading different from other types of reading? How is it similar?
Blog reading is similiar to other types of reading because it services multiple purposes. I think that the biggest difference in blog reading is that the material being read can be updated and distributed immediately. Therefore, the biggest difference in blog reading and other types of reading is that the reader has access to updated, archived, and related articles under one site.
- (How) is blog writing different from other types of writing? How is it similar?
Blog writing allows the writer to provides links throughout the article; manage multiple articles under one site; write to a broad audience ( students, teachers, parents, etc) for multiple purposes; and allows the writer to write, edit, and update information at anytime of the day. I think that blog writing is similiar to other writings in that it is written in an organized textual format including dates of publications.
- How does commenting contribute to the writing and meaning-making?
The comments give a broader perspective on topics, allows the students and teachers to communicate or conference, and provides an interactive public audience.
- Is there a “blogging literacy?” How does blogging affect the way we read and write?
Blogging allows us to manage, communicate, collaborate, and document information in an up to date manner.
- (How) can blogging facilitate learning?
Blogging can facilitate learning in that it allows a means for teachers, students, and parents, etc, to gain knowledge, distribute, research, collaborate and manage information in a timely manner.
