Web 2.0 & Why we should change
The basic difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 is that 2.0 is more collaborative and content is produced by users. Time magazine named each of us as person of the year because we "made Facebook profiles and Second Life avatars and reviewed books at Amazon and recorded podcasts. We blogged about our candidates losing and wrote songs about getting dumped. We camcordered bombing runs and built open-source software."
The main story of 2006 is "about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It's about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people's network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes." Time magazine

- Interactive; comments and RSS feeds
- Ownership; your own space, making your own decisions about contenct and design, or "agency" as Janet Murray calls it
- Authentic audience
- Transformative: write a blog post as a reaction to another blog post and get comments that you can also react to
- What can I learn from you & what can you learn from me?
- The teacher is no longer the only source of information; she is not responsible for making all the connections.
- Blogs can push reading, writing, and thinking up the taxonomy; students are synthesizing and evaluating!
- What can I learn from you & what can you learn from me?
- Blogs in Plain English (a cool video that explains it "all")
True bloggers don't only write blogs, they read them, comment on them, and therefore participate in a community of ideas.

A special Reading Journal
I wanted a way to differentiate instruction for my exchange student from Sierra Leone, who comes to the United States from a vastly different culture and way of life that most of us can barely conceive. She's an intelligent girl who is used to reciting after teachers for schooling. Not only had she no electricity in her home, but of course, she had never seen a computer. Despite this apparent impediment to using technology, she and I are contributing to a blog: We Read. Right now we are reading Things Fall Apart. We can work at our own pace (her pace) and need not worry about what others are doing. We can see our progress. This Blog also features a page for links for the novel and a page for vocabulary words per chapter.

Teachers using Blogs
Use your blog as a course management tool. Set up pages for your classes on which you can publish such things as
Your blog can be accessed anytime, anywhere by your students and their parents. Parents love that they can have access to your filing cabinet. Teachers who publish online automatically become collaborators. Share! You can also edit it from anywhere, making it easy to keep your blog up to date. You need no special software or really any extraordinary tech skills to be a blogger.
Parents and students can subscribe to your blog so they can easily stay up to date!
Samples:
Many teachers use Blogs for professional reflection. Ms. K's Teaching
-
- Sam's blog for The Da Vinci Code
- Bud Hunt's speech students use a blog to verbalize their ideas and react to each other
- Jessica Brogley's site (her Blogs are protected); visit this site for some good ideas about publishing parameters
