Error

Just playing around with my website to learn the features offered by blogsopt. Just created a link although it was not the one that I wanted to include. But I was successful at creating a link! Wow! I am learning all of this on my own.

Please be tolerant of my errors. I will get better at it.


Conducting the research

I think I am ready to begin the reseach. I am investigating the use of blogs to motivate students to read and write. All ethical issues have to be addressed. I think the letter to the parents and the consent form takes care of that.

Alternative to Reading Logs

"Web logging or Blogging" exemplifies a new literacy practice that is relatively new to me and the education system in my country. Educators and policy makers have seen the need to equip schools with computers and other new technology in order to meet the growing demands of this digital landscape. However I do not think that much is being done to effectively improve our pedagogical practices with the use of these technologies.
