Welcome to skeptiblog! This will be the central clearing-house for course blogging in Plato's Dialogues, so you will want to bookmark it. Student blogs will appear on the list to the left. Here's my theory of course blogging:
Why Blog? To be a good student
is actively to engage with the course material in collaboration with others –
the most effective students have always spent considerable time outside of
class talking with one another about the course material and everything that
relates to it. Since some students will tend to speak more readily than others
in class discussion, and since class time is severely limited, active learning
must spread beyond the classroom to be effective for everyone, just as teammates
do not learn to play tennis just by showing up for the meets. Regular course
blogging enables and encourages interactive learning, while removing many of
the barriers to it – you can craft posts and replies at your own pace, and post
them at any time of day or night. Blogging is a relatively informal type of
writing, so it fosters drafting and editing as well as conversational skills in
a low-pressure context.
