Comments on: The Ups & Downs of Weblogs in Education http://anne.teachesme.com/2004/02/04/the-ups-downs-of-weblogs-in-education/ Comments, reflections and occasional brainstorms Tue, 06 Jan 2009 08:26:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.4-bleeding By: Graham http://anne.teachesme.com/2004/02/04/the-ups-downs-of-weblogs-in-education/#comment-75 Graham Fri, 06 Feb 2004 13:26:48 +0000 http://anne.teachesme.com/2004/02/04/the-ups-downs-of-weblogs-in-education/#comment-75 <a></a>Has anyone noticed the blogging backlash? I've seen some anti-blogging articles in newspapers and magazines recently. I think they were written by journalists who are annoyed at having their searches come back full of references to blogs. What's most annoying is that these articles are often full of misleading information about weblogs, which show that they were obviously written by people ignorant to blogs. I really like this post, by-the-way, and I've started a discussion about it over at Search English. It would be nice to come up with a comprehensive list. If anyone wants to contribute, it would be great... Has anyone noticed the blogging backlash?

It‚s no doubt the most interactive and the most proactive way of learning. And I find this specially relevant in communities where educators are scarce and students have to learn quickly and take the role of the trainer to share his knowledge and help the community develop. Like Nancy, I neither believe blogging will save the world, but sharing is a good way to start. And a blog, over anything else, is a sharing tool, no doubt of it.
