I Blog servono a qualcosa...

2006-01-25T10:15:00.000-08:00

Oggi ho scoperto che la mia ricerca sui Blog non è proprio "aria fritta"....

Tesi sui Blogs

2006-01-17T14:43:00.000-08:00

James Torio ha scritto una tesi intitolata: "Blogs - A global conversation". La sto leggendo mi sembra molto interessante.

"Si tratta di una ricerca condotta via e-mail su 750 blogger classificati da Technorati alla quale hanno risposto ben 174 di loro."

Welcome to New York

Sono stata a New York per quattro giorni.
Ecco alcune foto della Gege... le mie non le ho ancora sviluppate!

Content Delivery in the 'Blogosphere'

2005-12-07T16:18:00.000-08:00

Ho trovato questo articolo interessante perché molto concreto; elenca alcuni suggerimenti per usare i blog in ambito formativo e i benefici che questo comporta.

Una cosa mi ha lasciato però perplessa:
"Take an active role in publicizing student blogs by sharing links with the outside world, as well as trying to get experts or nonclass people to visit the student blogs and comment on them. This interaction with experts not only increases that which is learned through the exercise, but signals that there are real people reading the published content. This can lead to the student spending more time in preparing blog posts and thinking more critically because of this wide dissemination." (Ferdig & Trammell, 2004)

Succede veramente?

Educational Blogging

2005-12-06T13:07:00.000-08:00

Ringrazio Brian Lamb che per primo mi ha indicato questo articolo di Stephen Downes (2004).
Lo trovo interessante perché accosta l'utilizzo dei blog a un'attività di lettura critica:
“Blogging is about, first, reading. But more important, it is about reading what is of interest to you: your culture, your community, your ideas. And it is about engaging with content and with the authors of what you have read-reflecting, criticizing, questioning, reacting."

Vancouver

2005-11-23T18:15:00.000-08:00

Purtroppo la mia fantastica macchina fotografica non è digitale così non posso pubblicare le mie foto di Vancouver.
No problem! Appena finisco il rullino le faccio mettere su CD così potrete finalmente vedere in che wonderful city sono finita.

Benvenuti!

2005-11-17T14:36:00.000-08:00

Con questo messaggio dò ufficialmente il via al mio multiblog.
Al momento mi trovo nella città più bella del Canada: Vancouver. Sappiate dunque che tutte le informazioni che pubblicherò da oggi a fine febbraio avranno in parte a che fare con la mia vita qui.
