Blog workshop at Knowplace this weekend with Sus
Please jump in and join our discussion about blogs, this time focusing on the affordance of images and audio - I'm following up on some skeptical musings about the dubious outcome of blogs in education, and would like to have YOU to jump in and give us some succes stories as well as those not so prestigious but much necessary bummers and failures in this field. I claim that blogging is part of the necessary online literacy that teachers as well as students need to develop by hands-on experiments!
I'm also blogging about this workshop over at my new Yahoo! 360 blog 360.yahoo.com/susannenyrop Please leave your footprint and some thoughtful words...

Like anything else, you can find examples that work and examples that don't. Every teacher has to use technology that makes sense for their teaching style, the type of student in the class and course material. I have been using blogs both to distribute content and to collect student assignments. Every term, I evaluate what works and what doesn't and make the appropriate changes for the following term. As long as you start off with an assignment that is not worth a lot (I started with 1%), "failure" is not a big deal. Here is an example of an organic chemistry class where students blogged their assignment.
