*sigh*
Sorry that it took so long for me to write this out, I had a rough weekend and didn't have much time to write this out for class. Its a long story.
I was able to read that article, well, I at least read the most of it, and it was an interesting read. I'm surprised about how this experiment that this teacher tried out with her students worked out with the blogging, and I have to say that it seems like it works well for her class. I have to say, I like the idea of letting the students go ahead and be themselves online when it comes to these blogs that they were supposed to do, and its interesting to me.
Interesting. That's all I can really say about the article. I mean, I have my ups and downs about this, and I don't know what I can say. I guess I can try and explain in class, but please don't expect much out of me, I'm still bothered by what went down over the weekend...
Sorry to hear that you had a bad weekend. :(
ReplyDeleteI will push you to go a bit deeper about the article and ask why you think it was interesting to have students be themselves online. Do you think blogs can serve as a significant tool for teaching b/c they allow a merging of multiple identities--like a student self & personal self? How are blogs significant? Or are they??
