Blog 5

I am not too sure what to write about. In terms of this class, I am really interested in two major aspects.

How to use digital writing in the classroom (i keep hearing that it's used, but not HOW) and if i can use it to teach in a special education classroom.

I have an interest in pro ana / mia sites on livejournal. Pro ana/mia sites on the internet (ie: forums) have been banned, but livejournal still has many that are active. I have a personal interest in this, because I had an experience with it a few years ago. Things dealing with censorship.

Maybe something with telemedicine, which does include online.

I would love some feedback/comments on this!

  1. Live journal sounds awsome. I can see where censorship may be a problem. That's something to think about for sure. Maybe if there was some kind of warning and have the person check a box in agreement before viewing the site or something like that. I feel like if someone has a page he or she should be able to write whatever. I'm not familiar with digital writing but it sounds cool. There's a lot of web quests I've seen, I'm not sure if theyre related (like lessons on a webpage) But if they are, you can create a webpage that the student with special needs can go to. You would be able to modify everything to accomodate their zone of proximidal development. Plus, they would be incorporating technology in education!
