Blogging in education
Next week, we will discuss weblogs in education, and discuss research topics for our online ethnographies. In preparation, please do the following.
Remember, the last thing is to think about what online space you would like to study.
- Sign up for a blog. Although we may not use it in the course, it's good to have done. We might use this for your research observations and so on.
- Read Why weblogs (Update: Link fixed).
- Read another article on blogs of your choosing or check out a few blogs. (You can google blogs and education or something).
