Talk:User-Generated Content in Education/Blogs

Corley C. to Group 2- I especially enjoyed reading about how blogs can be used in education. As a math teacher, I never had my students use blogs before, but after reading your ideas, I have definitely considered how to use one in my classroom. Thank you!

SKamara-Wilkes Summer 1 2013 Team- Nice job adding information about history of and guidelines for using blogs. Informative and easy to understand.

SShoop- I added the section about Guidelines for Using Blogs dicussing online safety and netiquette. I also added an Internet Safety graphic I made, but is hasn't shown up yet. 1sshoop (discuss • contribs) 03:31, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Robin G. - The Brief History of Blogs looks fine. Nice explaination Matthew, it wa clear and concise

Matthew S.- I have added a brief description of "The Brief History of Blogs" and I also added the line about Blogs are also short for the term "web logs" and they are used to enhance collaboration between between its users. This Wikibook I felt was very well done and organized. I also added a picture of a group of individuals blogging together and collaborating in the same area.

Rachel B. to Matthew S. - Nice job with the history section. Did not know that blogs were meant to just be a diary in the beginning.

Jami N. - Thank you for adding the section on Blogs for Teachers. I knew about one or two but not all and have bookmarked this page!

Amanda R. - I am very impressed with the way using blogs in the classroom can contribute to many more ways for teachers, students and parents to collaborate. Thank you for the useful information you contributed to this Wiki! 67.165.9.90 (discuss) 16:35, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Alana = Pros, Cons, and how blogs can be used in education. Added some references.

jreph- What is a blog, how it works, references (linking), pictures, links

LK - I liked reading about blogs. I've heard a lot about them, but I have never used them. This is a good reference tool.

JR - Great resource on Blogs. I think blogs should be a big part of education and a great resource for student centered work.

SRainey- A very thorough resource. I appreciated that you mentioned the importance of setting security settings in order to prevent student blogs from being viewed publicly.

GI - Great job! I like the idea of the weekly homework blog.

KZ - Since so many of our teachers are worried about this sort of technology, I will now show them this page to start their use. Good job!

LW - Nice additions. I have used a blog in the past and I feel the Pros far outweigh the Cons. JB - I am you added a pros and cons list. Perhaps it is the math teacher in me, but I always like to compare things logically.

KS - You added some great resources for blogs. I have not had a lot of experience with using blogs in the past but I would like to learn more. This page really will help me explore and learn more on blogs.
