BP1_104_Week 1 - Setting up your Blogger

I recently read an article Blogging in the Academy by

Shane Nackerud, and Kurtis Scaletta, a study to determine how and how much blogging is used in the classroom. The information found in the study shows that when blogging is used in a way to communicate information to students like assignments, or to open up discussions on topics then the vary nature of blogging is compromised. The nature of blogging according to the article, is experimental writing instead of guided and structured writing. Using blogging however had benefits in public writing and social interaction however, the blogging was stipulated as a journal or weblog.
