Thing #4

The genre of blogging is different than other forms of writing because it is not just 1 authors ideas and a single readers impression but rather a collaboration of several contributing readers impressions and ideas about a subject. Each of these readers has the opportunity to expand the ideas presented and make his/her thoughts part of the idea that is then presented to others and back to the original author. I particularly liked the duck with a blog's blog. This is a great idea for using current happenings that are relevant to the children and encourage literacy. Blogging allows students to dialogue with other students and people all over the world about similar interests in a relatively short amount of time.
