Website 4
http://blogsforlearning.msu.edu/

  • This website is founded by Michigan State University. Its "Blogs for Learning" is an online resource about instructional blogging, which provides information and resources about the technical and pedagogical aspects of blogging in the classroom.
  • A wide range of content is included in the resource, which is growing every day. The articles discuss various aspects of educational blogging, such as the use of RSS and case studies. The interactive tutorials are flash-based short instructional presentations on activities like creating a blog template and posting photos to your blog. Readers can also get access to the blog founded here called "The Learning Curve" for shorter contributions or updates.
  • With more and more people being engaged in using blogs for literacy development, this blog is where most of the interaction will take place. Hopefully, the more a novice blogger learns, the more he will enjoy blogging and the more interest he will have in writing. This is exactly what I want to try with my future students.
