Are they noticing ?

October 22nd, 2008

Is there  even a mentionable connection between the intellectuals and blogging world.Yes,there is a somewhat loose connection between the intellectuals and the bloggers.Anyway even if the intellectuals have noticed it or not Mr.Murdoch has certainly noticed and injected some of his hard earned money into WWW,this is now the most important reference which is made by every blogging protagonist.The people hoping to be the  new elected administration of U.S is claiming  “deregulation is the solution to get of the financial crisis”.The people who lose jobs in the process of deregulation will either takeover the web or the corporate media will make a comeback by getting rid of regional newsrooms and centralising  newsrooms.

bloggers community

September 9th, 2008

Perhaps the incredible growth of blogs can be attributed to the simplicity of creating and maintaining your blog. No Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) programming knowledge or skill is required.

 

Typically, the blog has a single author, however there are some group blogs where contributors post and debate short essays and opinion pieces. The comments represent the opinions of the author and their interpretations of an event, content or context. An examination of the blog-o-sphere reveals the proliferation of blogging across an expansive range of users and industries. These include software developers, web designers, journalists, librarians, lawyers, education and knowledge management specialists, researchers, and individuals with a desire to communicate their view on a topic or issue.

Researchers, academics, teachers, and students are excitedly embracing blogs. Although not exhaustive, I will present some of the current practical applications of blogs in the educational context and briefly examine the possibilities.

It may be presumptuous, however when reviewing the inclusion of blogging strategies reported in education fields, the intention appears to be to enrich the learning experience and provide an opportunity for learners to shift from surface to deeper levels of learning.
