Edublogging: Instruction
for the Digital Age Learner By Jeffrey P. Felix, Ed.
D. The research on blogging
as an instructional practice has become quite popular among blogging
educators. It is being offered without charge on the Internet and has created
a great deal of conversation among those interested teachers. They are using
it to add validity to their existing practice and new teachers are
hopefully using it to convince their administrators of the value in beginning the
practice. I have found it being talked about by educators located on
four different continents.
