IT Task: Weblogs- Learning in Public

This article reviews the importance of webloging in a Norwegian University-University of Bergen. It was quite interesting to note that the behaviour of students all over the world whether white, yellow, brown and black is similar when it concerns academic issues.
The author cleverly noted the students' individual responses; while some exhibited the ethusiastic and adapting style reflecting new skills and inspirations some absolutely hated been forced to blog. Others embarked upon webloging careers without expressing any particular enthusiasm or distaste-they did just what i ask them to do he noted.

Conventionally, it clearly provides a chance for the students to experience writing in a wider community creating a network where communication and feedback is essential in forming and changing peoples view about the society and world around them.
Moreover, students attitude toward venting thier opinions changed and become more open and positive since they are no longer in a closed learning environment where nobody sees their work except the examiner. Thus weblogging is an open forum, mainly about taking control of your own learning processes, finding your own voice and expressing your own opinions. It incorporates responding to the world around you and listening to the responses you receive in return.

Finally,the plague of plagiarism in schools is not untouched. Weblogs have a built in code of conduct on plagiarism.This is true because, one uses other people's words all the time when webloging and instead of writing out a citation in a form that many students find very complex, you link the website rather where you find the ideas.

Gorillas:
In 1901, Europeans traveling through the forests of Africa first encountered the gorilla, which is found naturally only on the African continent. A mere one hundred years later, gorillas are on the verge of extinction due to human activity. Early on, gorillas were portrayed in the media as ferocious, woman-stealing creatures. Research by the late Dian Fossey and subsequent studies have revealed gorillas to be gentle creatures with complex social and family structures and high intelligence levels.

Blogs

Is interesting creating a blog and updates with beautiful backgrounds so appealing. Just like James Watt,Michael Faraday,Thomas Edison and Albert Einsteins started just like this, I 'm so persuaded and motivated that each new day is new avenue for new development and creativity.
