Bloch reading

Bloch, J. (2007). Abdullah’s blogging: a generation 1.5 student enters the blogoshere, Language learning & technology, 11, 128-140

This article is about using blogging in a second language classroom in English. Abdullah is an immigrant student from East Africa who participated in blogging. Students shared a blogging site where they shared their ideas and comments, one of them about plagerism.
As I read the article I thought of how students at Ayaprun Elitnaurvik could use blogging in the classroom, much like this article, only in Yugtun. Reading in Yugtun can be difficult at times, but with practice students (and teachers) can become accustomed to reading and writing in Yugtun. Blogging could be a great place to start. What I liked about the article is that students were told to share and not worry about grammar. As students participate they begin to make meaning of what they read.
