Interactive Internet Course Content
Welcome to our class! This should prove to be an interesting and exciting week. As you know, blogging can facilitate meaningful interactive discussions. It also requires a group of participants focusing on common discussion topics.
This will be your chance to practice participating in an active blog while you find links to literature, find some "how-tos", post questions, reflect on images, complete surveys, and formulate ideas for your own class/work.
Please check out the links and let us know if you had any trouble finding the posted information. You'll practice posting to blogs each day by participating in a discussion thread that we'll generate. We're curious to know how you think you might use Web 2.0 tools with your students, socially, or professionally. Any thoughts?
How is a weblog different than a web page? How is it similar?
