Regardless of the reason, I have chosen to share this link because I feel that before we embark on the incorporation of technology in the classroom we should re-examine our motives for doing so. Is it a matter of personal comfort level or resistance toward change?
Personally, I am finding that the benefits for collaboration surpass any old habits we may have and I can only wonder about the hidden benefits of blogging in students’ intellectual development.
