The Educator's Guide to the Read/Write Web

review of the article by Will Richardson:

In the past, the Internet was a place to find information, not any longer.  Today, the Internet is not only a place where people can find specific information through complex search engines, but a place people can publish and broadcast their own ideas.  

One of the "new" tools being used by teachers and students is the Weblog, or blog.  Teachers are having students use a blog as a way to draw on critical thinking, reading, and writing.  Teachers are also using blogs to build classroom resource portals, promoting the growth of online learning communities.  Using blogs, both teachers and students can create interactive portfolio's that then can accessed worldwide.
