iWeb: Blogging and Academic Life

  Monday April 18th, 11am-12noon, 
  in the FLEX Lab, Dana Porter Library, room 329
  
  iWeb: "Blogging and Academic Life"
  
  In this second LT3 presentation about teaching and learning using the
  popular web tools blogs and wikis, we focus on two University of
  Waterloo speakers who will highlight complementary uses of blogging.
  Professor Randy Harris will speak about his classes' use of reading
  journals to foster writing skills, reflective writing, critical thinking
  and peer evaluation.  On the other side of the coin, Professor
  Prabhakar Ragde will speak about giving his students his own on-going
  reflections about the nature, philosophy and progress of their course
  while it was in session.
   
  The positive experiences of both professors holds forth promising new
  ways to engage students and enrich their time at school.
