The NITLE News Volume 2, Number 1, winter 2003: "Weblogs in Education: Bringing the World to the Liberal Arts Classroom

- Sarah Lohnes

A new, easy-to-use web publishing tool known as a weblog allows users to publish content to the web from their browsers, providing users with an unprecedented ability to participate in the internet community. In the true liberal arts tradition, teachers and students are using these tools to effectively break down the walls of the classroom, integrating teaching and learning with local and virtual communities."
Crooked Timber: Blogs by students
I am teaching an undergraduate class this Winter called “Internet and Society”. [1] I am going to require each student to maintain his/her own blog. This poses some challenges from keeping up with the amount of written material to assuring a certain level of privacy for students (as per related federal laws). I still have a few weeks to think about the specifics and thought would see what experiences and wisdom others may have accumulated in this realm.

jill/txt: talk at brown: "talk at brown

My talk at Brown today is titled 'Weblogs: Learning to Write in the Network' and is going to be mostly about using blogs with students. I'm going to stress network literacy and how blogging is not simply keeping an electronic journal, it's distributed and collaborative; it's learning to think and write with the network. I'll also talk a bit about the ethics of insisting students blog in public."

Danah Boyd: Broken Metaphors: Blogging as Liminal Practice
The goal of this paper is to reveal tensions underlying conceptualizations
First, I introduce how metaphorical constructions of blogging are being
limiting research on blogging by obfuscating an understanding of
Ong’s ‘secondary orality’ to discuss how blogging complicates
orality and textuality. Additionally, I discuss other dichotomous moves
blogging such as spatiality and corporeality, artifact and practice,
depictions of their practices to shed light on the tensions in each.

Mathemagenic: learning and KM insights: " Blogging as breathing or how to find time for blogging?

(Friday, December 03, 2004)

On the use of time for blogging

The most asked question when I speak to people who don't blog, is where I get the time to do it.

In Umea we discussed time consumption and listed a number of time-consuming factors. Time is needed:

* To get used to the tools
* To grow a network
* To get into action with others
* To grow trust
* For getting to know and find useful (re)sources
* To find your voice (for yourself, for others)"
This seems like a list of things that apply to a lot more situations than just blogging.

En tankevækkende tekst, som peger på det væsentlige forhold, at blogging og netværk ikke bare opstår i løbet af no time. Det skal læres og dyrkes.

Boing Boing: Le moleskine blog: "On this wonderful little blog, a young man in Bordeaux, France sketches his way through life in a series of moleskine journals. He scans the results, and posts them online for all to see. Simple things like this bring me endless delight in the power of the web. It's a microscope. It's a telescope. Its lens captures a field of infinitely varying depth. Link to Beleg's moleskine online, Link to his main blaugue, and link to the Wandering Moleskine Project. "
