WeBlogs: In the Classroom

Blogging can be a means for expressing personal statements, exchanging information, a social environment, entertaining, a political platform, instructional or as I began; for project management. I started my first a Blog for communication between a committee that is scattered throughout NEPA to alleviate the volume of email (more than 300) for planning a single workshop. Blogging is a versatile tool that can be used in lieu of PowerPoint or other medium as a presentation tool and for teaching. I have set up several Blogs for classroom instruction. The classroom Blog has its applications and will require a certain amount of market savvy to convince students and faculty of the medium’s merit.
