I'm the odd element in the series, the other words come together naturally (collocate:)). But I plan to do my best to improve the situation: I have joined an online workshop on integrating blogs into teaching and I follow it closely, reading, posting, interacting, having fun.
The other day I thought about this innovative method of improving teaching and I realised that, although blogs seem to have been around forever, I can hardly name teachers who use blogs in their teaching, besides the incredible enthusiastic group of people around this project. And while thinking about it, I remembered Rogers and his curve of innovation adoption (it's up there, I haven't yet learned how to drag it here). I have no clue whether we are now just starting to integrate blogs in the teaching/learning process or I've just been ignorant and didn't realise that edublogs, like all sorts of blogs (I'm still learning jargon) developed in parallel. What I mean is that, looking at Rogers' curve, I don't know where I stand: am I an early adopter or just a laggard? Not that it's relevant to teaching, but it's always good to know where you start.
