Maybe you are a one-person marketing team and need to focus your attention on paid promotion and social media. Perhaps you come from an industry that is traditionally offline and your company has only recently started building a digital presence. Maybe you used to have a blog, but due to other pressing concerns, it has remained stagnant for months or even years.

Whatever your excuse, it’s not too late to get a blog up and running before the new year. And it’s easier than you think! Maintaining a content hub on your website is essential for building organic traffic and generating inbound leads.

Blogs: Do They Serve Any Real Purpose? | #Blogging #ICT #Communication #LEARNing2LEARN #LEARNingByDoing

Blogs: Do They Serve Any Real Purpose? | #Blogging #ICT #Communication #LEARNing2LEARN #LEARNingByDoing | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Does the average person even know or understand what a blog is? Do professionals understand how blogs influence their profession? Are teachers using blogs as both relevant reading and writing tools? Are students using blogs to create their voice? Do people in general see any importance in blogging to reflect, question, criticize, or improve the world in which we live?

Do blogs have a value in our world today that is at least understood, if not appreciated, by those who should? Does the access to blogs require too much tech savvy, critical thinking, and a mindset different from the 20th Century to prevent the acceptance of blogs as a change force in our 21st Century world?

 

Will a large enough group of people even read this post to make a difference or will people need to print it out to share copies with others?

Doing Good Work Even When No One is Looking: A Vision for Schools

Doing Good Work Even When No One is Looking: A Vision for Schools | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Yet, note that I don’t write articles to get the approval of a teacher or another person. I write and share because I am compelled to do so. I consider it a personal calling to stretch myself and others to consider the challenges and opportunities of life and learning in a connected and digital age. I write the article whether ten people read it or ten thousand people read it. As I often draw from the wisdom of Isaac Asimov to point out, Writing is just thinking with my fingers.” I write to think and to share those thoughts with others.

 

I believe that ideas matter and that, too often today, we turn our ideas into propaganda by only making them visible in their finished and polished formats. I want people to see my ideas in their naked or raw format as well. They are ideas without the lipstick, without being dressed to impress.

Teachers' Guide to Using Blogs in Class

Teachers' Guide to Using Blogs in Class | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
In an earlier post here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning, we argued that setting up a class virtual space in the cloud is an indispensable task for today's teachers. This space can preferably be a website, a blog, or a wiki or, if possible, all of them. The educational benefits of having such a space for students include:
  • Improve students writing skills through posting and commenting
  • Helps students have a voice 
  • Promote the notion of independent and personalized learning
  • Promote a spirit of collaboration among students
  • Engage parents in the learning taking place in the classroom
  • Connect with students from other schools and exchange with them learning experiences.

Blogger teilen sich nicht nur gerne mit, sie haben auch etwas zu sagen. Trotzdem kommt es vor, dass du gerade nicht den richtigen Einfall zu fassen bekommst. Oder gar keinen hast.

 

Vor allem diejenigen, die nicht für sich selbst bloggen, sondern das im Auftrag tun, die Corporate Blogger kennen das Problem. Schließlich gibt es Termine, Auftraggeber und Vorgesetzte. Da kann man sich schon mal schwertun.

 

Trotzdem kann der Bloggerblues jeden von uns überkommen. Dann sitzt man da, bläst Trübsal und wünscht sich eine Idee herbei. Eine Idee wäre jetzt die Rettung – oder eine Methode.

It wasn’t too long ago that student use of “chatspeak” — texting shorthand, Internet slang, or even emoji — in the classroom seemed as if it might signal the end of grammar and the death of proper English. But with 78 percent of teenagers having access to cell phones, and the majority of children picking one up by age 12, chatspeak is here to stay.

Des astuces pour utiliser les BLOGS dans la pédagogie

Deanne LaRoche's curator insight, May 28, 2017 9:43 PM

Having only recently for the first time taken up Blogging for an assessment item, I have become aware of its benefits in the classroom.  This diagram shows more ways in which it can be useful than I originally had realised and as such, I have now decided that adding a reflective Blog into my teaching will be of benefit to the students.  The ability to be in connection with others worldwide, will open students up to new possibilities.  I hope also then, that my Blogs and my students Blogs will benefit the wider community also.  I am reminded though that I need to ensure that the online environment that my students are involved in is a safe environment.
