Synopsis
|
:
|
This article provides a brief history of Web logging and subsequent examples of Web log use specific to an educational arena. Although the blogging phenomenon began a few years ago, it is only recently that a critical mass of educators has realized its potential in and out of the classroom for teaching and learning content while acting as a catalyst for becoming technology proficient. The authors present a connection between blogging and Vygotsky's theoretical foundation for learning through communication. The blogging analogy parallels Vygotsky's dialectivism where an initial concept is proposed, a contrary idea is provided whereby a comparative discussion occurs toward synthesis of the ideas.
