Refection on the use of blogging as a tool for Learning and Teaching:
Like the general blogging community, there are many ways to use
blogging in teaching and learning. You can use an existing blog to provide
information and insights. They can also help you provide examples to increase
the quality of your students' blog entries. Or, you can encourage your students
to create a blog for others that reflects these ideas.
Activate. Motivate with blogs.
Use a blog as a catalyst to generate interest in a new topic. Help students see
the excitement and energy that can be found in a subject. For example, show the
enthusiasm of mathematicans.
Connect. Provide a context or
establish a connection. Bring relevance to the discussion by using a "real
world" situation or example found in a blog.
Critique. Critically evaluate
an idea or perspective by using examples to support a position. Many of these
examples can be found in professional blogs.
Deepen. Add depth to a
learning situation by providing a detailed explanation, thoughtful observation,
or new resource that provides additional information or insights. For example,
use a law blog to learn more about law and ethics.
Expand. Broaden thinking by
providing an alternative perspective or different point of view. For example,
use blogs from different countries to examine cultural differences.
Fresh Look. Use blogs to provide
current, immediately relevant examples. For example, get the latest science or
fashion news.
Inform. Provide primary
sources or data that help explain an idea already presented. For example, you
can track earthquakes and volcanoes. Consider a statistic or graph that
illustrates a point.
Launch. Look for blogs as a
place for new, innovative ideas. Be the first to present a new idea rather than
simply commenting on the work of others. Ask questions to keep the new idea
going.
Synthesize. Bring a number of
ideas together. For example, consolidate these comments and draw a new
conclusion.

Core Netiquette Rules
- Spell check and proofread all written internet communication because errors diminish the credibility of the message.
- Do not write in all capital letters because all caps are considered shouting when written on the internet.
- Tell the truth online because honesty creates the best online experience. Do not lie in account profiles.
- Do not do things online you would not do in reality. Be yourself, you are not anonymous.
- Do not flame or respond to flames because personal insults are uncivilized and netiquette is civilized.
- Do not spam or follow pop-up and spam links because they can lead to viruses, spyware, and malware.
- Be conservative in email you send and liberal in email you receive because quality is better than quantity.
- Do not send email at night because normal people sleep at night. Late night email may call your lifestyle into question.
- Shop secure sites with Transport Layer Security (TSL) or Secure Socket Layer (SSL) because it protects your data.
- Use discretion when sharing information online for personal and professional privacy reasons.
