Hello, my name is Tammika Fortney, but everyone calls me Meko. Welcome to my page. Today I would just like to take a minute of your time to introduce myself. I like and work in Atlanta, GA and I love each and every moment of my life. And, NO, I am not rich, or famous... yet. As a matter of fact, I am the school secretary at BEST Academy. Currently, I am a student at Full Sail University working on my Master's in Education Media Design and Technology.
Full Sail University is an awesome school. Which brings me to today's post; Education Uses for Blogs. Sure blogs are a fun and technological way to vent, express yourself or to conjure up new ideas. But did you know that they can me used for Educational Purposes as well? Well sure they can ;-).
James Farmer, CEO of the blogging site EduBlogs, suggest a few helpful tips for teachers in his article "Blogging for Education: How you SHOULD use blogs in education". He suggests that teacher must (A) incorporate blogs as key, task driven, elements of the course (B) use assessment tasks that incorporate subversion. In other words, assignments given should still foster creative freedom and exploration. (C) Use blogs for what they are good for, co-operative communication (D) Use proven and effective blogging tools, ie pictures, videos and easy to set-up blogging sites, like Blogger.com.
Well I hope someone somewhere gets something from this post. Till next time.
