September 4, 2007I meant to show this YouTube video in the first class, but ran out of time. What do you think we can learn from this video, or from the way it was produced and distributed? Click on the play arrow to start the video and if you like techno music, crank up your speakers!
Fall 2007 Digital Citizenship Welcome
September 3, 2007Welcome to the fall 2007 Digital Citizenship Blog
for Dr. Stuart Shulman, University of Pittsburgh
I have been using blogs in class for a few years. The results are not always perfect. Indeed, like the blogosphere itself, the results are almost always less than perfect. Still, there are occasionally moments when a human, rather than a spambot, lands on my blog, or one of my students’ blogs, and then it all seems to make sense. The basic idea is to get comfortable with the technology and to see what it does well or poorly. It is also a method for archiving and sharing those ‘ah hah!’ moments that a good class should produce.
