"Instructional Blogging: Promoting Interactivity, Student-Centered Learning, and Peer Input," is now available in Innovate: Journal of Online Education, vol.1, no. 5, June/July 2005. As you can tell from the volume number, Innovate is a new journal. If you've not been to the site yet, do check it out. The articles are quite good, and provide a mix of application and innovation with scholarship. You will need to create a username and password but that only takes 30 seconds. Comments on my article are welcome. Here is the synopsis that appears on Innovate:
Stuart Glogoff expounds on the educational applications of blogs—simple Web pages that can have surprisingly complex classroom applications. Situating his commentary in the context of pedagogical theory, Glogoff outlines the ways in which blogs can enable receptive learning, directive learning, and guided discovery. Reflecting on successful practices in his own classroom, he also reveals how blogs can build community, promote interactivity, and increase student comprehension. This account of blogging technology as a learning tool provides models that instructors of both online and hybrid courses will find helpful.
