Blogs and teaching

Some of gRadio posts on weblogging in the classroom:

• list of possible blog uses
• some examples
• more ideas
• case for not blogging

I’m thinking about it for the courses I used to teach (missing that a lot!) – how I would use blogs? Some ideas (in terms of learning activities):

• before class reading – reflection and questions; may be peer-review of that
• probably not logging the whole session, but definetely brainstorming sessions and exersices (hmm, better option than slides –> web-site)
• definetely student “takeaways” from each session
• collecting links as an exercise
• commenting on posts of others
• keeping log of project activities; posting drafts and ideas for peer-review (I can do as well, but it’s much better to have it reviewed by other students ;)
• reflection on the course

Wish I would have a course to teach right now…
