Educational blogging
Weblog Tools Collection » Educational blogging as a research tool I believe that educational blogging is a very powerful vehicle…
I am interested in blogging and the power it has in enhancing student learning. I currently teach an Instructional Technology course and have had my students participating in a blog. I was attracted to the idea, because my doctoral program made me appreciate the “voice” that comes from writing. I want my students to have a “voice” and I want other students to have access to the “voice” of their peers. I will be interested in hearing future posts and comments about this topic.
Hey, its a few years old now, but very interesting article. Four years down the road and blogging is certainly picking up, and by many students too. I am studying anthropology and using my blog to share ideas, gather feedback, and self-organize. Its a bit complicated figuring out what exactly is relevant to share when one is doing research, but I find those in the blogsphere to be very supportive and helpful so far.
Erkan Saka (erkansaka.net) also wrote a great essay on using blogs as a research tool for ethnographic fieldwork – it was discussed on the Media Anthropology Network recently. (http://www.media-anthropology.net/)
