The main purpose for this article is to show how reading and writing has changed and is changing. The author refers to the internet as the “read/write web”. He talks mostly about all of the ways the internet has changed out reading and writing. He talks about how the internet allows us to write for an real audience. He explains that this audience is able to respond back to writer through blogs, wikis, and other internet sources. Will Richardson also explained people read items differently when using the internet. He talked about how everything is linked to some thing else. He explained how easy it is for him to start on one reading and quickly be diverted to another thing. Before he knows it he is reading something on a completely different topic.

[object Object],Learning with Blogs and Wikis Next The article, “Learning with Blogs and Wikis” was written by Bill Ferriter. In this article the author talked mostly about the importance of using blogs and wikis as learning devices for teachers. He talks about how teachers must take furthering education classes. The author states, “The few moments we can steal for professional development are usually spent in sessions with experts pitching the latest silver bullet. Teachers rarely get to self-select learning opportunities, pursue professional passions, or engage in meaningful, ongoing conversations about instruction.” (Ferriter p. 34 and 35) He goes on to say that the way this could be done is through reading and writing wikis and blogs.

[object Object],Exploring Educational use of Blogs in U.S. Education Next The article “Exploring Educational use of Blogs in U.S. Education” was written by Wang Hong. This author wrote this article with the intent to compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of blogs being used in the United States education. I have bulleted out the advantages and disadvantages on the next slide. Wang Hong also gives different examples of the types of blogs. The two main types that he hit on were Edublogs (Education Blogs) and LibLogs (Library blogs). He also talked about video blogs, text blogs, and photo blogs. He also went on to tell some examples of how blogs are used in education. One example was of a teacher on a trip to China. This teacher used the blog to let her students know where she was and what she was doing. She used it as a geography lesson.

Conclusion ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],I learned a lot from these three articles. I learned that wikis and blogs have effected the way I am going to teach in the future. I have learned that wikis and blogs can be used to teach my students several subjects in several different ways. I also learned that wikis and blogs can be used for my professional learning. In the future I do believe that I will use blogs and wikis in my professional carrier in the future as a teacher. I will also recommend them both to my colleagues.
