Education World ® Technology Center: Blogging?
-
Number 1: A blog is a Web-publishing concept that enables anyone -- first graders, political pundits, homeless people, high school principals, presidential candidates -- to publish information on the Internet.
Number 2: Blogs (a shortening of weB LOG), or blogging has become a journalistic tool, a way to publish news, ideas, rants, announcements, and ponderings very quickly, and without technical, editorial, and time constraints. It essentially makes anyone a columnist. In fact, many established columnists now publish their own blogs.
Number 3: Blogs, because of their ease of use, and because of the context of news and editorial column writing, have become a highly effective way to help students to become better writers. Research has long shown that students write more, write in greater detail, and take greater care with spelling, grammar, and punctuation, when they are writing to an authentic audience over the Internet.

Weblogg-ed

But unless the schools are equal to the task of absorbing the new digital media, and making acute use of their potentials while guarding against their abuses, schools are likely to become as anachronistic as almshouses, teachers as anachronistic as barber-surgeons. Any culture that wishes to survive will ensure that learning takes place, but the forms and formats remain wide open.

Education World® Blogging Basics: Creating Student Journals on the Web
-
- Kids love blogging.
- Students who lack the reading and writing skills they need to succeed also
may lack the motivation to practice those skills. Many are motivated,
however, to chat virtually with their friends.
- Seeing their words published on the Web is a great student motivator.
- Blogs offer an innovative way for students to engage in reflective writing
on classroom topics in a familiar medium.
- Blogs represent a democratization of information dissemination, providing
each individual with the opportunity to publicly present his or her thoughts
and opinions.
- Students who know they have an audience other than their teacher write more
credibly, accurately, and carefully.
- Blogs allow others to respond, providing feedback to the authors.
- Kids love blogging.
-
- reflect on their reading or classroom discussions.
- investigate topics online and then report on their research.
- record group progress on a project.
- talk about shared classroom experiences.
- copy and paste thought-provoking quotes from other blogs, and then offer
their own thoughts on the topic.
- ask professional writers to edit their blogs, or provide feedback.
- reflect on their reading or classroom discussions.

Gale Schools - Article Archive - 2007 - October - Social Networking Technologies: Here to Stay and It�s Really Okay
-
We must shift from the Web 1.0 Internet safety approach —fear–mongering, simplistic rules and filtering— to a Web 2.0 approach. We should protect younger children. But we need to empower tweens and teens to make safe and responsible choices by providing them with accurate information about the risks and effective protective strategies.
