Found this great initiative via Weblogg-ed while clearing feeds in bloglines this morning.
The 6-week course is organised by Aaron Campbell, Barbara Dieu and Graham Stanley, with numeorus other facilitators including Anne Davis, James Farmer, Will Richardson etc.
Tried applying to join the course, not sure if it is too late, but thought it would be a great learning experience seeing how the course is going to run, with experts and participants all over the globe.
In the meantime, waiting patiently for the acceptance reply … 🙂
The state of blogging in US
Some figures extracted from this report by Pew Internet & American Life Project enlightened us to the extend of blog awareness in America:
Of the sample size of 1324 pple,
– 38% of people know what a blog is
– 27% of people read blogs (representing 32 million, 58% increase since Feb 04)
– 12% have posted to blogs
– 7% of people own blogs (8 million)
– 5% of people use RSS
Wonder what’s the figures like if a similar survey were done in Singapore, especially if targetted at students. This figure can prove useful for our use of edublogs in teaching and learning.
