New to the world of edublogs, but they are fascinating as to the world they open up to students and teachers alike. Still a student, but am very excited to learn about this community of teacher and student collaborators and look forward to the journey as I jump on ship.

I love all of the points listed. I hope I am not restating anything but one of my reasons for working with Blogs and other 2.0 resources is simply to define the web as an interactive learning tool. Many kids see it as only a social networking and gaming device, which are fantastic uses by the way, but they do need to see what a powerful tool it can become.

[…] Anne Davis’ blog summarizes the case for educational blogging, mentioning these and many other advantages of this type of communication. Like my daughter, students have a familiarity with digital media that allows an SSR 2.0 to work beautifully in the classroom. While they might not be digital natives , they at least feel comfortable in the terrain. Reading online is second nature, and the brevity, conversational style and interactive qualities of blogs keep kids engaged. Is this the new literacy? Why not? Having the opportunity to read about others and express oneself digitally is just as valid as pen and paper. There may be different tools, but the ends are the same. […]

While this topic can be very challenging for most people, my belief is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do value that you’ve added pertinent and intelligent commentary here though. Very much thanks to you!

The readings for my class are very intriguing because they tell the story of someone’s life that we might not know about. The stories provide an insight about someone’s beliefs, values, language, religious traditions. It makes me wonder what else is going on in the world that we have not discovered yet. Before this class I did not realize of much, my society in America, is such a small part of a greater world. My professor really knows how to get his students to keep asking for more and find modern tools today that can teach us how things are happened many years ago.
