But here's a link that seem a bit interesting. Some additional thoughts about how the use of blogs on the web and print on the pages are different. This will affect how we use them in teaching.

This author is one of my "practical" favorites - especially when I get carried away with the "artistic" bent I tend to favor when I'm designing a Web site. It seems what he likes to emphasize is akin to the KISS method of Web design (and content.)
ReplyDeleteI found this quote quite interesting: "We should accept that the Web is too fast-paced for big-picture learning. No problem; we have other media, and each has its strengths. At the same time, the Web is perfect for narrow just-in-time learning of information nuggets - so long as the learner already has the conceptual framework in place to make sense of facts."
