Blogging Class

At my library, I have the opportunity to develop self-paced information literacy tutorials and teach formal classes to train students in aspects of information literacy and technology. Past classes I have taught have been have included Internet Skills, Email and Internet Security. I am just received the go-ahead to create an Introduction to Blogging class.
I'm pretty excited about this as I have had a number of questions regarding blogging and Web 2.0, etc. in my Internet Skills classes. In addition, the Hudson Library blog will be updated on a more frequent basis soon.
I've been blogging since 2001 and it has been exciting to see the evolution of blogging. Many people use blogging as a means to chronicle their lives while others use it as a platform of self publishing. It will be intriguing to see how our patrons will use their blogs.
