Comments on: Blogs for Learning: A case study http://www.higheredblogcon.com/index.php/blogs-for-learning-a-case-study/ transforming academic communities with new tools of the social web Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:27:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 By: Matthew Vanden Boogart http://www.higheredblogcon.com/index.php/blogs-for-learning-a-case-study/#comment-121 Matthew Vanden Boogart Tue, 11 Apr 2006 23:54:21 +0000 http://www.higheredblogcon.com/index.php/blogs-for-learning-a-case-study/#comment-121 I enjoyed the presentation - thank you for helping to take the next step forward in getting blogs in the classroom. I was a student with a professor who used blogs as our main communication tool in class; where an in-person weekly meeting was ment to supplement that online discussion. I'd be more than interested to help contribute to the development in any way I can. My next professional step it to develop an online leadership development site for students and staff to utitilize some community development tools (e.g. blogs). Please keep me posted with your developments - I look forward to hearing about the development and results.

I'm glad that you enjoyed the presentation. I think one of the most important things that I've learned from using blogs in the class (and I've been using them for a relatively long time) is that they work best in a "diverse portfolio" of teaching techniques and technologies.

The work you are doing is very exciting and lends credibility to blogging as a teaching tool. Many of my colleagues are skeptical of blogging, so I will be thrilled to see what you put together!
