Weblog Evaluations for SLIS


Weblogg-ed: learning with the read/write web
http://weblogg-ed.com/

Will Richardson's weblog is the "ideal" in terms of content and structure. He provides his background, resources upon resources, links to more resources, podcasts and videos, and much more. One of the best parts of his blog is his links to his wiki as well as another wiki that supports educational blogging. I am excited to refer to this source and to use it in my endeavors to implement blogging throughout not only my district's classrooms but also the teachers' desks.

2¢ Worth: teaching and learning in the new information landscape...

Because David Warlick is another author we are reading for class, I decided to take a look at his blog also.

I especially appreciate the layout of his blog. On the right hand bar/frame, I can really get to know Mr. Warlick by viewing the books he’s written, pictures he’s taken, videos he’s uploaded, other blogs he’s written, and of course I can also look into his archives there. There are subscription options, a couple of neat widgets, and an award for being the winner of “Edublog 2008 – Lifetime Achievement” – pretty neat. The top bar offers several tabs to explore further Warlick’s content. A feature I will definitely come back to is a Wiki designed for educators, media specialists and administrators and involves acceptable use policies. It seems in the past ten minutes I’ve been navigating through it that information is endless.
