Posted by admin in : How To, Blogging , add a commentHow can I found out more about using blogs in education? Do you recomend any websites/books?
I suggest you start here: http://www.weblogg-ed.com/
Will Richardson is a professional blogger, but this is his first year out there. Before that, he was a tech coordinator at a high school in New Jersey. He also has a book that I can lend you.
Blogging is interesting. I’m still getting my head around it. It is definitely a transformative activity.
We have a blog server at school if you would like to experiment. Here are a few examples:

http://blogs.collegiateschool.org/tech (You’re here!)
http://davidallen.intranet2.collegiateschool.org/weblog/ (password protected: collegiate networkusername and password)
You can learn a lot more here: http://supportblogging.wikispaces.com/
I’d be happy to discuss the possibilities — but if you watch weblogg-ed for a while, you’ll start to see the linking and conversations developing.
There are also a number of other education bloggers out there. Here’s a list:

When you’re ready, we can set up a blog for you if you. Here are two tutorals, Wordpresss Intro and Posting to Wordpress.
