Web Site Review
Educational Weblogs
Building a Greater Understanding…By Michael Lackner

At this site, I found out that “Blog” is actually defined in Merriam Websters dictionary. Blog: no un [short for weblog]: a Web site that contains an online personnal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer.
NECC 2005 “Sparking a Revolution in Learning” by Michael Lackner
He welcomes people to his web site as an educational weblog resource page. He has links and resources that are very helpful plus a Power Point presentation for educators.
I opened his weblog handout which was an excellent slide show site to share with staff in training them about purposes, use, and how to make a blog. At the bottom of this site all the windows are shown for signing into a Blog site.
Many other definitions were given for Weblog by different individuals other than the dictionary definition. There were also other new Weblog terms that I was not familiar with that had definitions given as well.
Many links were given to other Blog articles, to how a blog is made, and to how to perform a blog poll.
Eight detailed examples are given for Weblog use. A few of these I list are as a school management system, for portfolio’s (art or student), to collaborate, as electronic filing cabinet with links, and to enhance literacy.
Ten different suggestions were made for the different types of blogs available. A few examples are a personal blog, the collaborative blog, to the political blog.
I recommend this for your colleagues who may want to learn how to blog.

Ida,
I really like how you listed all the web sites that you have visited along the side of your blog homepage. How did you do that? Deion
