Following on from how NOT to use blogs in education this post attempts to summarise this paper
and add a few extra angles onto how you can use blogs effectively in
education and invites your additional hints, tips, criticisms &
wotnot.
在《在教学中不应该用网志做些什么》这篇帖子试图总结这篇论文之后，我们继续增加一点见解，关于你应该用网址在教学中做些什么，并邀请你添加意见、技巧、批评，什么都行。
You must incorporate blogs as key, task driven, elements of your course
- This may sound obvious but simply providing blogs to learners and
saying ‘Hey, use them however you want’ is an absolute guarantee of
failure as all but 1 or 2 people will take you up on it. Significantly
here that I’m not saying assessment… you can provide non-assessable but
socially motivating tasks, as long as they form part of class
activities (i.e. competition for best designed blog with each
participant presenting for 3 minutes) but they don’t have to be parts
of assessment, and talking of assessment…
你必须把网志作为引导物，任务驱动，涉及课程内容——听起来很简单，但是为学习者简单的提供网志，说“不管你们想不想都得用它”，保证你绝对会失败，当然会有那么一两个人会用它。特别是，我还没有提到评估……你也可以提供无需评估但是有能促进社交的任务，只要他们组织一部分课堂活动（比如每个参与者展示三分钟，进行最佳网志设计竞赛），但是他们并不一定成为评估的一部分，接下来谈论评估……
You should use assessment tasks that incorporate subversion
- One of the worst things you can do is mandate posting on particular
topics with particularly rigid frequency… you’ll over-assess & kill
off exactly what blogs are good for: personal expression &
exploration. By all means say that you’re expecting a post a week… or
ever more, but let people approach this in ways that fit them and set
tasks that allow for deviation and subversion. Never, ever, mention number of words!
你应该使用允许颠覆的评估任务——你所能做的最糟糕的事情之一就是强制就特定主题严格按周期发表帖子……你将捧杀或者扼杀正适合于个人体验和探索的网志。要说的是，你希望一周一篇帖子……或者更多，但是要让人们以适合他们的方法完成这一点，并且设定任务的时候要允许偏差和颠覆。绝对，不要，规定字数！
You should use blogs for what they are good for
- Blogs are by no means the answer to everything, they are very strong
alternative communication tools but if you want to build quizzes, run
polls, have near-synchronous conversation, do listserv-y kind of
discussion or strictly manage just about anything then you’ll probably
want to look at another tool. Use blogs to assist people to publish
work, represent themselves online, interact with their peers as part of
an organic community and manage their own digital content and identity.
你应该将网志用在该用的地方——网志绝不是万能工具，它是一款非常强大的通讯替代工具，但是如果你想出卷子，做调查，实时谈话，展开邮件列表类讨论或者严格管理几乎一切事情，那么你可能要看看其他工具。使用网志帮助人们出版自己的劳动成果，在网络上展现他们自我，作为有机社区的一分子与其伙伴互动，并且管理他们自己的数码内容和身份。
Use proven and effective blogging tools - When
you decide to set off on your blogging journey don’t, please don’t, do
it with some ‘tacked on solution’ to a large and established Learning
Management System. Blogs are just as complex as any other form of
software and you want to get the tools off people who know what they’re
doing. You probably wouldn’t pick up an office suite from Macromedia,
would you… Look at all the options and chose a proven path, there are lots of them.
使用稳妥的高效的网志工具——当你决定建立你的网志，不要，请不要，使用一些很粗糙的解决方案去实现大型的、稳定的学习管理系统。网志系统和其他软件形式一样复杂，并且你想让这款工具摆脱那些知道自己在干什么的人们。你可能不会从Macromedia公司购进办公系统，你是否愿意……看清所有选择，选择一款稳妥的，很多人使用的。

I
have really enjoyed these recent posts about blogs in education.
Although I am not a student or a teacher, I am a mother and have found
blogs to be a useful tool with my children. We have two ‘educational’
or ‘interactive’ blogs that we use on a weekly basis with them.
我很喜欢最近这些关于教育网志的文章。虽然我不是一名学生或者教师，我是一名母亲，发现网志是一个对我孩子很有用的工具。我们有两个教育相关的或者互动的网志，我们每周都在用它们。
One is thepostcardproject.com, which my eight year old started last
year. He got a map for his birthday and wanted to learn more about the
places on it. We asked for postcards and he gets a few new cards each
month. We research the people and customs of the area and post the card
online. This blog relies on the participation of others [sending in
cards], so the posting is sporadic.
一个是……，这是我八岁孩子去年开始使用的。他过生日得到一幅地图，想更多了解地图上的世界。我们想要明信片，他每个月都会得到几张新的明信片。我们研究这个地区的人们及其风俗，并将明信片上网。这个网志依赖于其他人（寄明信片），因此更新稀稀拉拉的。
The second is ninesidesofsunday.blogspot.com. It functions as a
photo meme for the kids. Each Sunday, I give the kids [we have 7 at
home] an assignment and they have to take and edit the pictures
themselves. I have found that this is an effective way to get them
thinking about their surroundings.
第二个是……，它的功能是作为孩子们的相片宣传窗。每个星期天，我给孩子们（家里有七个孩子）布置一个任务，他们自己拍照并写说明。我发现这是让他们思考周围环境的有效途径。
I imagine that these types of blogs would work well in an educational setting.
我想，这类网志在教育环境中会工作得很好。

how
about just leave it in the hands of the kids/students - just make them
aware of proper guidelines for publishing on the internet, and what the
consequences can be…
如何让它们仅仅掌握在孩子或者学生手上——仅仅让他们意识到，为发表到互联网上而作的正确引导，及其后果，可以……

But then what would I do for a living
