Re: Hands-on Learning Activity
Ben, this letter is in
regard to your suggests of creating a blog for our hands-on learning activity
for school. After researching blogging
and looking at the pros and cons, which I will list below. Blogging is not a tool I would want to use
for a hands-on learning activity right now until a savvy is completed and all involved
are on board. After speaking with colleagues,
co-workers, parents, and students regarding blogging I would like to look at other
ways to come up with a hands-on learning tool.
Why? Because before we implement something
like blogging we have to insure that all individuals involved in blogging understand
the policy about when to blog.
How will you/we ensure
students are blogging with his or her peers and classmates regarding the
activity, who will monitor student, and for employees that have never blog
before how will we conduct workshops and when will those individual workshop be
completed?
Below are a list of
pros and cons regarding blogging and how important it will be to understand
when and where to use.
Personal blogs is for someone to create and maintains
a blog to express his or her personal convictions, observations, suggestions,
and other matters about selected topics that interest him or her.
Topic or Industry blogs – These blogs focus on the nature,
history, developments, trends, and players in a given subject area or
industry.
Publication-based blogs – As outgrowths of established media
outlets, these blogs foster dialog about subjects of interest to the parent
publications’ readers. Typical bloggers
are editors, reporters or freelancers who follow a subject area closely and
want to benefit from the greater knowledge of the masses who would be willing
to share that knowledge (Beeson, 2005, Wasserman, 2004).
Corporate blogs – A hybrid of the personal blog, these
blogs are fairly new and feature the insights, assessments, commentary, and
other discourse devoted to a single company.
Sincerely,
Ms. Small,
