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.
