BiMRC Web Log (BLOG) Strategy ...
Over the past 2 years BiMRC
has been experimenting with a growing, new technology; one at the very
heart of the web's basic philosophy:
"...to empower users and other developers, and make it
easy for users who want to, to become developers." [Dave
Winer 8.13.01].
That technology is called a 'Web Log'. Or as it more
commonly known, 'a blog'; by its verb/adjetive phase: blogging.
Blogging has come from the shadows of obscurity to begin
a rise into what many have forecast to the the 'next big thing' on the
Internet. For a certainty, when the masses are given a powerful tool -
an impact of major proportions cannot be far behind. 'Blogging' is just
such a tool.
BiMRC, in its search for new, powerful Tools for Technologically
Enhanced Educational Environments [ T40 ] began working
with and developing an education blog strategy some months ago.
We are currently in the experimental phase of developing
a daily news-feed blog made up of the two ( 2 specific areas of expertise,
content, research and application of BiMRC. Other RSS feed subscriptions
will provide additional news and information.
Stay tuned. This is an amazing tool. We see it opening
numerous opportunities for collaboration and personal journalistic ventures:
not to mention education in a whole new light.
