And your blog title can be eternal or suitable forever as you could blog on any new learning experience you start now and later! So, why not blog your first entry to talk about and share a part of your learning experience in week 2? You may add your ideas on ways blogs can be used in the ESP classroom. Just a suggestion.<BR/><BR/>Later!Buthaina Alothmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028368714413825813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317072112429484021.post-63609225243967435662008-01-24T01:47:00.000+03:002008-01-24T01:47:00.000+03:00Yes ...

In fact, I read other people's blogs everyday, I take great inspiration from many of them, I have found out a million interesting things since I subscribed to 'bloglines'!<BR/>But, I was/am afraid or shy to create my own blog because I must confess I don't know if I can handle it.. <BR/>Anyway, I'll give it a try for the purpose of this course and.. who knows? Maybe I'll become a blogger :)<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317072112429484021.post-17654041950287263342008-01-23T16:35:00.000+03:002008-01-23T16:35:00.000+03:00Let me see if I got this straight... a blogger is ...Let me see if I got this straight... a blogger is a person who creates a blog and keeps it for personal purposes or maybe for some class and a blog user is the one who reads posts, comments on them but doesn't own a blog?<BR/>If that is the case, I am a blogger but in fact I have to learn more things before calling myself "a blogger". Or at least I feel I should include videos, sounds, surveys, etc to feel confident about using blogs... and I have to find time to do it ;)<BR/>See you all around,<BR/> LoreMaria Lorena Reciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05930907133383067337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317072112429484021.post-25540272173112181732008-01-22T23:53:00.000+03:002008-01-22T23:53:00.000+03:00Hi Buth what do you mean you are not a blogger i r...Hi Buth what do you mean you are not a blogger i read this in your blog is there a difference between being a blogger and using bolgs in teaching?<BR/>hala salihhala nurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536984803780097614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317072112429484021.post-45910572082222568532008-01-22T20:18:00.000+03:002008-01-22T20:18:00.000+03:00You're right Buth to point out that in this world ...You're right Buth to point out that in this world there are bloggers and there are non-bloggers and it's fine whicever camp you're in. I particularly like that you have come out and stated it so strongly because it demonstrates that blogs have many roles and that you can use blogs as a classroom tool without needing to be an active personal blogger oneself.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02726370477122120489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317072112429484021.post-9221919508093420922008-01-22T11:34:00.000+03:002008-01-22T11:34:00.000+03:00Buth, l am not a blogger either, but l introduced ...Buth, l am not a blogger either, but l introduced a blog project to one of my EFL pre-service classes at uni last year. It turned out to be highly motivating for the student teachers and l learned so much through their learning process. Reflection and collective self-regulation are at the core of pedagogical blogging. However, l must say that it probably worked well because it was "blended learning". Would a blog project work in the same way if there are no f-2-f sessions?<BR/>Cheers, AnnaAnna Francahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787955716462919582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317072112429484021.post-41709477205734071152008-01-22T03:58:00.000+03:002008-01-22T03:58:00.000+03:00Well, I became a blogger in December. The blog is ...Well, I became a blogger in December. The blog is personal, but could easily be used in an ESP course for health or fitness. [Although if you teach young children, their parents might not appreciate the inclusion of the Pussycat Dolls video.]<BR/><BR/>Notice that I said the blog is personal. Even though the blog is public and will remain that way, I hesitated to share the blog with the group even though Buth urged me to do so.<BR/><BR/>However, the power of blogging is in the sharing--so, here it is--my personal blog. <A HREF="" REL="nofollow"> <BR/>http://healthyhopes.wordpress.com<BR/></A><BR/><BR/>I am sharing because what makes blogs so useful is their interactive nature. I find myself logging into the blog just to see if I have had new comments. If I didn't have comments, I would probably stop blogging.<BR/><BR/>Keep that in mind as you consider the blogging week. All of the Web 2.0 for ESP team feels very lonely right now. We need some comments from our online community.Healthy Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13469436383729065330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317072112429484021.post-703444940518637842008-01-22T03:48:00.000+03:002008-01-22T03:48:00.000+03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Healthy Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13469436383729065330noreply@blogger.com
