Blog


 * What is a blog?**

It is technically a web log - Kind of like a diary - where you can post thoughts and ideas. People who visit your blog can post comments to your blog, creating something similar to a thread. Blogs can be used to express ideas that you want to bounce off of other people.


 * In my classroom**

I find the idea of creating a blog for digital portfolios interesting. I had previously thought that a wiki would be a good for a portfolio, but because the blog will not allow others to edit the images, a blog may be better.

I think that a blog could be used for visual art critiques and would be especially useful for art history.

And as many of my classmates have mentioned, I think that a blog for communication between PLC members would be fantastic - especially when there is no time to gather face to face.

The blog that I created is for use with my PAP Art I class. I will be posting weekly sketchbook assignments to the blog. In turn the students will scan their results and post the images to the blog. The students are also encouraged to offer suggestions for future sketchbook assignments.
