PCY'S BLOG

Will Richardson’s “Pedagogy of Blogs”
p. 26-28

1. Weblogs are truly a constructivist tool for learning.
2. Weblogs truly expand the walls of the classroom.
3. Weblogs archive the learning students and teachers do, facilitating reflection.
4. As a democratic tool, Weblogs support different learning styles.
5. Use of Weblogs can facilitate the development of expertise in a particular subject.
6. Weblogs can teach new literacies that students may need in the coming information society.

Other aspects:

* evaluation
* capstone projects – semester-long, or program-long projects
* accreditation
* facilitate development of portfolios (digital files)
