More Davenet: "What is a News Aggregator?" Great... just what the doctor ordered! 8:46:00 PM    comments   trackback

Dave Winer's Weblogs Whats & Whys (DWWWW!) Why did I miss this. Well worth a read and a good addition to conveying ideas to facultyland... methinks! "I like to say that there are two definitions, one narrow, one broad. Narrowly, a weblog is a site written by one person or a small number of people, in a personal style, presented chronologically, generally not for pay. More broadly, a weblog is what a personal website is in the early 21st century. The software used to edit a weblog is both easier and more powerful than personal website software of the 1990s. The innovation in weblog software is that engineers, like myself, have learned how to make writing for the Web easier, while the users have learned more, and therefore are able to do more. In the future both trends should continue. This has been the process of publishing on computers ever since the first CPU crawled on land and said Hello World."

More on student weblogging Anne writes here: "I really like using weblogs in education, particularly in the area of writing across content areas. I like to think of helping students learn to use writing as a means of clarifying their thinking. I like to think of it as a place for them to be heard and a place on the web to raise the bar on student writing, put a little fun into the process, and help students feel the joy of seeing their writing improve." [edubloginsights] But acknowledges that 'criticism' isn't always a good thing... as expanded on by Greg in his comments to my post below. Will talks about the value weblogs give his students: "I've been teaching writing for 20 years, and I've always struggled with being able to provide and audience for student work that was meaningful and not just manufactured in the classroom, especially with my journalists" [weblogg-ed] And goes on to ask the following questions: "How is publishing to an Internet audience different from small group or classroom publishing? Should there be a way to make some posts more private and others public? What should "policy" be in terms of getting permissions for doing this? Ethically, what are the issues involved with open publication of student work?" [weblogg-ed] And, in the interests of brevity I'm gonna think about this for a bit, save to say, please let's not have a general 'well it's good for somethings but not for others' conclusion... there must be some research on this (publishing student work on the web) somewhere... I'm going hunting. Oh & Anne, if you're reading this, I really really wanna aggregate you but can't find your rss.xml... this is becoming a bit of a habit! 10:32:53 AM    comments   trackback
