Blogging in the College Classroom
I’m serving as the teaching assistant for an International Law class
this spring. My advisor teaches it, and I have done this
particular class twice before.
I’d like to add a blogging component to the class this time around, and
I’ve been searching out sites that talk about blogging in the classroom
and how one can effectively use it as a component of learning. I
should be clear — I do not want to supplant traditional discussion
sections with a web-based “bulletin board.” But I want the online
content to be vital and continuing for the students. In other
words, they shouldn’t post or contribute because they have to. I want them to want to, just like we bloggers want to do this.
I know some of you readers out there might have some ideas about
this. Can you drop me a comment or an e-mail with your
suggestions or websites on how to do this effectively?
