Tirsdag 24/4 skal Barbara Ganley dele av sine erfaringer med blogging i skriveundervisning - som du ser har jeg laget en Facebook Flyer om det, som var litt gøy. Her er ordentlig info om forelesningen:

Web 2.0 in the Undergraduate Classroom: Creativity, Collaboration and Communication

Barbara Ganley
Middlebury College, USA

Tirsdag 24. april 2007, kl 14:15
Sydneshaugen skole: Auditorium N

Blogging, wiki-creation, podcasting, video-sharing and other Web 2.0 practices are making their way into even traditional undergraduate classrooms, often as a quick, convenient new way to do the same old things: the instructor disseminates information to students and students present their learning back to the teacher. But what happens when blogs and other social software are integrated into the core of a course as a means for teachers and learners, together, in what cybertheorist Pierre Levy calls reciprocal apprenticeships, to explore creative thinking, collaboration and communication in their discipline across media and audiences? What happens to traditional classroom dynamics? To a teacher’s understanding of what she ought to be teaching and how? In this talk, Barbara Ganley, a Lecturer in the Writing Program and English Department at Middlebury College in Vermont, USA, will share six years of teaching with blogs, looking closely at repercussions on teacher and learner within an active learning community, on learning outcomes and on assessment.
