Brainstorming

Brainstorming We can put our ideas for format and topics here.

-How bout a paper on blogging? We could talk about what they are, how they can be used in the classroom (first get some testimonials from our research, and then we can give our own opinion on how it could be used in our own courses), and what the benefits of blogging are. From a preliminary search, it seems like there's a lot of info on blogging out there... (Alex)

How about this for the paper's topics/organization? We can split 1 and 5, 2 and 3, and then both write a bit for 4. Let me know if you have any preferences; I personally don't care which I do. (Alex)
 * 1) Intro/background on web 2.0 and blogs specifically
 * 2) what sources/experts say the uses and benefits of using blogs in the classroom are
 * 3) experts' tips on integrating blogs into the classroom
 * 4) our own perspective on blogs for our class/subject area
 * 5) conclusion

This sounds great! I went back to the email he sent and made all the necessary pages in the wiki. I saw in the email that we had to create a separate diigo account for this paper, so the username and password for our new diigo account is in the wiki under timeline (username and password are ED530Paper). I also created a Google Doc, but I then realized you already did that. We should use yours- it's already set up for APA format. Thanks! (Danielle)
