Blogs in class

Today we talked about blogs in Technologies de l'information. I took a photo of the class at the beginning of the hour, and posted these photos, as well as a first draft of this post, at the end of class. Everyone seemed to agree that it's an easy process, and about eight students came up after class and asked for me to transfer the photos to their USB keys.

The co-instructor has agreed that students can develop a blog as their end-of-semester assignment, so now's about the time that students exploring this option need to get underway. I've been basing my approach to introducing blogs on a book by Will Richardson called "Blogs, wikis, podcases, and other powerful web tools for classrooms."
