#1 Ashley Sawyer on 12 Mar 12This article by Jamie Myers and Richard Beach discusses the many benefits hypermedia has in education. I recently did an internship at Inspire charter school where most of their classes were Internet based. This particularly interested me because they use blogging websites. I was pleased to find this article that discusses how students are able to personalize a website to give an edge to their writing. Students are able to bring a creative edge to their writing and essentially find their voice easier because it more personalized. Blogging is also more conversation based and allows for the writing to be less formal and more interactive.
