Popular IAE Blog Entries





This page is locked against changes by readers.

The Information Age Education Blog began August 22, 2010. As of 3/10/2014 it contained 282 entries and had received about 1,472,000 hits. This is an average of about 5,220 hits per entry.

The purpose of David Moursund’s IAE Blog is to encourage and facilitate people working to improve informal and formal education at all levels and in all discipline areas. A unifying theme is that education empowers the educated and improves their quality of life. Many of the entries build on future educational implications of current news items and events. Readers are encouraged to add comments.

If you are involved in teaching preservice or inservice teachers, one of the things you will likely want them to learn about is using blogs as a source of information and making comments in a blog. Comments should be scholarly and rooted in careful thinking. They should contribute to the topic being discussed.

Thus, for example, a comment, "This blog entry sucks" is not particularly useful. Give a careful statement about what is wrong with the entry. Back up your disagreement with solid evidence.

Preservice and inservice teachers should be learning to understand both sides of major educational issues. One way to practice this endeavor is to assign your preservice and inservice teachers the task of finding a blog entry they support and adding a supportive comment, and finding a blog entry that they disagree with and explaining why they disagree.
