When I started out with edublogs.org I figured that the best thing to call it was exactly that, edublogs.org – basically because it’s a pretty easily memorable url and it seemed a bit presumptuous to call it ‘edublogs’ seeing as there are plenty of edublogs out there (and blogs called edublogs!) and I didn’t want …

A pretty darn useful edublog!
I mentioned this site yesterday in the links but today Homecoming has an even better post outlining (with plenty of links) a literacy workshop on blogs and blogging… great stuff & a must read for anyone starting out in the blogs and education field.

Homecoming"I blog because I learn from blogging. I like the feeling of immersing myself in a topic I am very interested in, thinking through the ideas and then commenting with my perspective."

edublogs in the press
Seems like the now quite obvious explosion is having some nice repercussions. In particular I’m having my own little private photoshoot today for a story The Australian is going to be running on edublogs.org and in addition to that Jo McLeay was kind enough to mention learnerblogs (and it’s rather bizarre genesis!) in The Age: …

Powazek: Just a Thought: Design for Selfishness"Because we solve a problem they have. Because we give them something they can’t get anywhere else. Because we enable a kind of communication that’s unlike anything else. Because we make their lives more convenient. Because we give them, or save them, money. Because we enable them to do …

Is nothing sacred? Spam and ‘incsub blogs’ (incsub.org/wpmu)

Digging up the news – Mar. 27, 2006Good Digg article. Businesspundit: Punishment, Self-Interest, and Cooperation – Why the Altruism of Web2.0 Doesn't ExistParticularly interesting aspect of this is that 1% of Digg-ers actually vote, people *don’t want to* participate, they just want to be in the know, and are happy to trust / let this …
myspace and ‘posting a blog’
Having spent a lot of time with undergrads talking about blogs in the last couple of weeks I’m starting to develop a love / hate relationship with myspace – Love, because 75% of them are happier to get involved & have a better understanding that they were last year – Hate, because everytime someone says …
Blogs as Personal Learning Environments Presentation now Live
What better way to spend your weekend than to catch all 12 minutes of my Blogs as PLEs screencast which is now live over at the HigherEd BlogCon. It’s not the best presentation I’ve ever put together but it does synthesise some of my thoughts on the area… and you’re welcome to comment / criticise …
