| “Most
students, as with many people, are passive participants on the
Internet. They read, but they don’t write for the Web. Now,
composing
html pages and posting them to the web is technically difficult for the
classroom when compared to signing up for a blog and posting text.
It’s
certainly not quite the same experience as making choices over page
design, etc., but blog posting can make them active participants by
having them join in existing conversations. And in many ways
it’s more
dynamic than creating html pages, since it’s much easier to
continually
add fresh content.” |
