Blogging@UoD

Are blogs worth using? Does blogging provide any advantages to teaching and learning? Why should they and how can they be used?…..At this point I was going to make some eloquent and well argued points but Anne Davies who works for (Georgia State University, USA) writing in her blog EduBlog Insights makes a convincing case and is well worth reading Rationale of Educational Blogging

Anne highlights the fact that blogging is an emerging technology, as one of the ‘new literacies’ in education and is beginning to be used more widely. This represents a challenge for staff to incorporate and exploit these technologies effectively. Anne lists a number of reasons or advantages to using blogging that is quite compelling. These pedagogies can be directly translated into the activity of our University.

Make a comment if your experience is different or highlight anymore advantages.
