3. Learning with Blogs and Wikis
This article by Bill Ferriter is about how we need to
embrace blogs. Bill talks about how easy and simple it is to
use blogs. He first talks about how difficult it is for the
changes in education to keep up with the changes in society.
He then points out how blogs help us to learn from society
and incorporate it into our lesson plans. He then discusses
how to read blogs. This may not make sense but what he is
talking about is easy ways to get good information without
reading the millions of articles that are on the internet today.
He then starts to give advice on how to get into your blogs.
He wants us to incorporate your peers and help each other
find good articles. The next step is writing your own blogs.

4. Learning with Blogs and Wikis
Bill talks to us about how
important it is for us to read peoples
blogs, but then he talks to us about
writing our own. The whole reasoning
behind the blogs is to learn from each
other and push each others thoughts
and ideas. An even better way to get
involved is to write your own ideas and
other people take what you write and
make your own thoughts even better.

6. Blogging in the Classroom
This article talks about
what a blog is and what it
does. It talks about how
many Americans are using
blogs and how many people
read them. The best part
about this article is that it
discusses the student aspect
of the blogs. It talks about
how students benefit from it.

7. Blogging in the Classroom
The students aren’t
just communicating with
the few other students in
the classroom but also the
other users of blogs that
choose to read it. It is a
great way to get students
thoughts and ideas out
there and actually get
feedback from students
around the world and
build off of it.

8. Blogging in the Classroom
I liked this article because it is more about
students learning and how they learn from blogs
rather then just how us as educators get our ideas out
there. We are always learning no matter how educated
we are so why not share our ways of learning with the
ones we teach.

9. How to Become a Digital Leader
This article discusses how our principals and
administrators are not up on the technology today. It
references an article about how many of the teachers
actually depend on their principals as their instructor
leadership role model.

I think this is a great way to
get our “leaders” motivated

good to not just stick to the
old ways and go after
different and more valuable
ones.

classroom
setting
I think blogging
is a great way to expand
our learning, our
students learning, and
our leaders learning. I
also think that it helps
us teach others while we
explore our own ideas.
