Digital Discussion: Take Your Class to the Internet
You can view the link to the article here: Digital Discussion






Citation:

"Digital Discussion: Take Your Class to the Internet." Edutopia. N.p., n.d. Web. 24 Feb. 2013.This article

written by freelance writer Helena Echlin. It is a basic how to guide on blogging in the classroom. The article

was published in 2007, so it is a fairly old article, but I found the information to be useful for use in 2013. It

does not state if Echlin is an educational professional, but she does provide quotes from a teacher who uses

blogs in the classroom. This article provides great information and accurate information on blogging

technology. The article could use updated information, but it is a great resource. The article even provides an

example article.

Article #2
Blogs Give Students an Audience





Citation:


Aguilar, Elena. "Blogs Give Students an Audience." Edutopia. N.p., 13 Jan. 2009. Web. 24 Feb. 2013.

This article is written by Elena Aguilar a transformational leadership coach from Oakland, California. She

interviews teacher Jessie Thaler and talks with her about using blogs to teach. This is a great first hand

account from a real educator using blogs in the classroom. The article is from 2009, so it is not very recent. I

do find the information relevant. I like that the teacher explained in her own words why she used blogs to

teach.
