Adrian Miles published recently an article titled ‘Blogs in Media Education’. From the opening paragraph:
In this article I would like to introduce and explore the possible use of blogs in media education. What follows applies, more or less equally, for students and teachers, so if you are wondering about how blogs may be relevant to your professional practice as a teacher, or as a classroom tool, then most of what follows will apply.

I have been keeping my eyes out for media literacies resources for teaching networked media.
Michel Bauwens sent some links to me recently which I would like to follow up. First the work by the peer-to-peer foundation on education. The New Media Literacies project list of skills for younger people on engaging with participatory media, along with David Warlick’s writing ‘Redefining Literacies for the 21st Century’.

I found a useful social media report on Adrian’s blog. The sections on blogging provide an overview and follow up links. The white paper Social Media: or “How I learned to stop worrying and love communication”, is written by Trevor Cook (Trevor’s blog Corporate Engagement) and Lee Hopkins. It tackles as the sub-heading states “An introduction to the power of “web 2.0″. The blogging section covers tips on writing for blogs. The extra reading suggestions are this Stephen Downes paper E-learning 2.0. (includes a useful video version) and James Torio’s article Blogs: A Global Conservation which is a pdf (the links is down for the moment?) plus slight aside on podcasting Kevin Dugan’s post 20 Creative Uses for Podcasts. The white paper and many other extra sources provide a pragmatic, current overview on social media from a more commercial perspective.
