Digital Age
What are Blogs?


   Weblogs are database-powered, date-driven,
   syndicated web publishing systems. They let you
   easily publish “posts” or “articles” to the web, and
   notify readers of new content. Readers can subscribe
   to your blog, leave comments, or write posts in
   response.
Twitter to connect,
blogs to reflect
Great Examples
 ‣ CUNY Academic Commons (commons.gc.cuny.edu/) - Blog
   network for the City University of New York.
 ‣ UMWBlogs (umwblogs.org) - Blog network for the University
   of Mary Washington.
 ‣ Hypothèses (hypotheses.org) - Research notebooks in the
   Social Sciences (France).
 ‣ Planned Obsolescence by Kathleen Fitzpatrick
Individual vs. Group Blogs
Group Blogs


‣ Everyone posts to the
  same blog, as individual
  authors.
‣ Course content is much
  more centralized, makes
  it a bit easier to manage.
‣ Group blogs may affect
  types of assignments,
  number of posts/
  comments.
Individual Blogs


‣ Each individual has her/
  his own blog.
‣ Content is much more
  decentralized, makes
  news readers more
  important.
‣ Provides opportunity for
  individual identity and
  ownership to develop, “A
  domain on one’s own.”
Blog Planets


‣ A blog planet is a blog
  that aggregates and
  republishes the content
  from other blogs
‣ Useful for small courses,
  where students have
  individual blogs. Can be
  aggregated in a larger
  course blog.
Hosted vs. Self-Installed
Self-Installed Blogs


‣ Requires server space,
  other skills to install and
  maintain.
‣ Much more freedom for
  customization; Add
  whatever plugins and
  themes you wish. Install
  as many blogs as you
  want.
Hosted Blogs


‣ No need for hosting
  account or server space;
  The blog is hosted for
  you.
‣ Little opportunity for
  customization, installing
  your own plugins and
  themes.
‣ Universities increasingly
  installing their own
  hosted blog systems.
Contexts
The Teacher
 ‣ Goals—Share course materials and updates, provide students with a space
   for students to publish, discuss, experiment with ideas.

 ‣ Tools

    ‣ WordPress.com/Edublogs.org

    ‣ Self-installed blog

       ‣ ScholarPress Courseware - easy course management

       ‣ WP Book - turns WP blog into Facebook application

       ‣ Role Scoper - More granular control over use permissions

       ‣ User Extra Fields - Add more fields to user registration
Courseware


‣ Easy course
  management.
‣ Add schedule entries, fill
  in bibliography items,
  and create assignments
‣ Calendar syndication
WP Book


‣ Helps make your blog a
  Facebook application
‣ Another way for
  students to access
  course information
Role Scoper


‣ Lets you add more
  granular permissions to
  a group blog.
User Extra Fields


‣ Plugin that allows you to
  add extra fields to user
  registration
‣ Useful for:
‣ Biography
‣ Links to other accounts
‣ Images
‣ URLs
The Researcher
 ‣ Goals—Create a space for sharing and reflecting on research process, try
   out ideas, publish (and take ownership of) ideas early!

 ‣ Tools

    ‣ WordPress.com/Edublogs.org

    ‣ Self-installed blog

       ‣ CommentPress

       ‣ Citation Aggregator

       ‣ Myriad plugins for footnotes.

    ‣ News reader
CommentPress - Granular comments and discussion
