I've been poking around to see how other instructors use blogging in their literature/literacy classes and I found
Everyday Literacies. Here's a link to a post two students did on
Manga, a genre we aren't addressing! (Although I will bring in a graphic novel in a couple of weeks.)
I thought that it was interesting that:
- Rather than each student having a blog, all the class members are authors of the same class blog
- The writing style seems more "chatty" or relaxed(?) than the type of writing we've been doing.
- The writing seems to serve multiple purposes: collaboration, sharing information, floating ideas, etc.
One of the key ideas I want people to have as they leave this class is that our design choices have pedagogical consequences! After looking at this site, do you see any advantages or disadvantages to the blog's design? (Or maybe it makes sense to talk about this in terms of different purposes?)
