A presentation on why educators should blog
Here's a presentation I created tonight on why I think educators should blog. I still have some work to do on it, but I thought I'd share what I have so far.
OPML file for the 2009 Edublog awards
A few weeks ago the final results of the 2009 Edublog awards were announced. I looked around for an OPML file, which is basically a way to import and export RSS feeds from your feed reader. Long story short, much searching, no file found.
Blogging in Education
I've been blogging off and on for a few years now at http://davidwees.com. Actually I have 3 blogs right now that I maintain infrequently right now, my MET program has me too busy to focus on my own blogs. I don't really find the process difficult, the hardest part is coming up with material to talk about, and then taking the time to write it down.
Multiple blogs, good or bad?
So I've started two new courses this semester which will bring my total number of courses taken as part of my Masters of Educational Technology degree up to 6. If taking two courses works out well, and I don't end up estranged from my family, I'll probably do the same both semesters next year, and finish off my degree quickly.
Using a class blog effectively
Something I have been doing for the past three years now is using a blog with my classroom. I have developed my practices with the blog over time and so far here are some of the things I have been doing with it.
