Welcome

Welcome to the Class of ED526 Internet Literacy. The internet is one of the most useful tools in Education today. We depend on the Internet for information, but there is so much more that the "New Internet of the 21st Century" has to offer to students and educators.
Blogs are just one of the Internet options we are going to look at in this class.

Blogs -- a Definition



An edublog (educational blog) is written by someone with a stake in the educational process. Edublogs may be written by or for teachers. An edublog may invite administrators, teachers, students, and parents to comment and author posts. They can be written for educational instruction or written about educational policy. Communities of educators can gather their ideas to collaborate information on an edublog. One of the most well-known edublogs can be found at http://www.21classes.com/ Edublog.org has some links to informational tips for teachers who use or would like to use blogging in their classroom.
