Welcome to Blogs, Wikis and More!

Welcome to the Blogs, Wikis and More Workshop..!

Our main goals for today are to become familiar with these new technologies and to explore/discuss the educational uses of the ever changing "read/write" web.

As the workshop progresses, please feel free to respond to the following questions (multi-tasking is encouraged!):

• What are some ideas you have for using these tools in your classroom?

• What are some concerns you have about using these tools in an educational setting?

Feel free to post any additional comments, as well...

Thanks, David

What is a Blog Anyways?

A blog is a website in which journal entries are posted on a regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order. The term blog is a shortened form of weblog or web log. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called "blogging". Individual articles on a blog are called "blog posts," "posts" or "entries". A person who posts these entries is called a "blogger". (source en.wikipedia.org)
