Blogging within a social networking site as a form of literature response in a teacher education course

摘要

The purpose of this qualitative study was to document how pre-service teachers in a children’s literature course experienced blogging on a social networking site as a form of literature response. Understanding how pre-service teachers experience these tools can inform the ways we instruct them to integrate Web 2.0 tools into their teaching. Analysis of the data revealed three themes: (a) Not social but socially influenced; (b) excitement for blogging; and (c) discussion. Results underscore the importance of educating pre-service teachers about the role and potential of technology in literacy instruction by modeling uses of technology that promote literacy learning.View full textDownload full textKeywordsblog, literacy, social network, technology, NingRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09523987.2012.741197
