The New Student-Teacher Channel - Vernon Harper, Jr., THE Journal
The Web is no longer a novel ingredient in the learning experience; it is intrinsic and constant. In fact, a host of new technologies has sparked an age of inexpensive, effortless, and universal Web access in the classroom, while wireless devices and protocols have steadily moved downstream and down the socioeconomic ladder.With this incredible availability, educators and learners are brought together in common effective, intellectual, and pedagogical planes that have never existed before. Blogging, of course, is one of the Web’s more recent developments. In The State of Blogging (Pew Internet and American Life Project, 2005, www.pewinternet.org/pdfs/PIP_blogging_data.pdf), Lee Rainie explains that over 32 million Web users now read blogs regularly, a 58 percent jump from early 2004.
