Blogging In School
CNET has a good article today on blogging in schools. (I know, it seems kind of circular to post a blog about blogging. Then again, many bloggers just talk about other bloggers…) Imagine having a setting where every kid writes every day, and peers can view and comment on each other’s writing in a safe setting. Sounds pretty cool to me. Now, if we can just get enough computers into schools to make it possible.
I was also really fascinated by the diagram that sits to the right of the article. I thought it was an ad at first, but it’s actually a story web that links the article on blogging to other technology articles that CNET has published recently. You can see the whole-screen view here.
I think this is really pretty cool. I would love to see more of this on educational websites. What a great way to lay out information from a textbook or unit of study for kids!
