Pedagogy For Blogs and Wikis

Before we continue taking a look at how to incorporate blogs into the classroom for instructional purposes, I would like to briefly share some pedagogical practices for using blogs and wikis as well as two resources/sources I have found to be very effective not only in relation to blogs and wikis but also incorporating Web 2.0 tools in general.


Below is a list of pedagogical strategies:

•Constructivist Tool

•Learning Beyond Classroom

•Archive Learning and Metacognitive Analysis

•Organized

•Democratic Tool

•Expertise on Subject

•Exposure To New Literacies

•Problem-Solving

•Project-Based Learning

•Collaborative Learning

Below are two resources/sources I find indispensable:

•Will Richardson's Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools 

  For Classrooms

•Lynne Schrum and Gwen Solomon's Web 2.0 How-To For Educators.
