Developing Paper Topics by Using a Blog
Posted in Education and Technology on March 20, 2007| 4 Comments »
I was reading a blog that I subscribe to and I thought the following entry was extremely relevant. It discusses the use of blogs as students create paper topics. Through peer review on blogs students have the potential to assist each other in defining a well crafted topic. This is a simple way to introduce technology into the classroom and can create a dialog between the students. This method can produce better topics as well as a better understanding of how to formulate a stronger topic. Hope everyone is enjoying their break.
