A big thanks goes out to Rhea Borja of Education Week in Washington, D.C. for mentioning the literature blog in her articles entitled: “‘Blogs Catching On as Tool for Instruction”, and “Blog Basics”. Education Week is an American weekly publication that is circulated throughout the United States with a worldwide readership via the net. They report that they have over 217,000 readers and they have been publishing Education Week for more than 20 years (source: http://www.edweek.org/info/advertise/) !
Here are some quotes from the above mentioned articles:
And a teacher at a private school in Vancouver, British Columbia, has his senior English literature students blog on their reading assignments, bringing medieval narrative poems such as ‘Sir Gawain and the Green Knight’ into the era of ubiquitous computer technology.” (Borja, “Blogs Catching On” Dec. 14, 2005, par. 9)
Under the heading Selected Classroom Blogs:
English Literature 12 by James M. Nelson, Duncan Christian School in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. (Borja, “Blog Basics” Dec. 14, 2005, par. 11)
Please note: I will be contacting Borja to correct our location, as we are on Vancouver Island.
