In an age that witnessed considerable support for social improvement, public schools often took center stage. By the 1830s, a chorus of reform-minded people began to sing the praises of free, tax-supported schools: Thaddeus Stevens, later a prominent Republican activist in Pennsylvania; Catharine Beecher, advocate of more educational opportunities for women; Caleb Mills, an evangelical minister who later became Indiana's leading common school advocate; and even notable Southerners, who faced the greatest opposition and whose efforts bore the least fruit. Enthusiasm for social improvement through education flourished. Since the turn of the century, countless pamphlets, speeches, reports, petitions, testimonials, newspaper editorials, books, and articles had promoted the importance of education in a republic. A few dozen educational periodicals also popularized the cause of learning by promoting a class-inclusive school system, especially for white children.

In Philadelphia, New York, and other cities, the editors of workingmen's newspaper - the voice of the skilled artisan minority - despaired over the fate of youth as apprenticeships declined and unskilled factory labor increased; they endorsed instituting a common system and eliminating the stigma attached to free schools. "I think that no such thing as charities should be instituted for the instruction of youth," wrote one articulate worker in the Mechanics' Free Press in Philadelphia in 1828. He favored free schools dependent not on "private charities" but "founded and supported by the government itself." One Ohioan added, "Unless the Common Schools can be made to educate the whole people, the poor as well as the rich, they are not worthy of the support of the patriot or the philanthropist." "Give to education... a clear field and fair play," said a recent immigrant in A Treatise on American Popular Education in 1839, "and your poor houses, lazarettos, and hospitals will stand empty, your prisons and penitentiaries will lack inmates, and the whole country will be filled with wise, industrious, and happy inhabitants. Immorality, vice and crime, disease, misery and poverty, will vanish from our regions, and morality, virtue and fidelity, with health, prosperity, and abundance, will make their permanent home among us.”

Born in an age when millennial ideals, such as universal peace and prosperity following Christ's imminent return to earth, influenced wide sectors of the population, the common schools became a useful barometer of the extensive social changes that transformed the nation before the Civil War. Cities, factories, and foreign immigration generated moral panic and social fears among many northern reformers, whose search for solutions to public ills centered on a more expansive public school system. Reflecting the contradictory passions of the reformers, schools not only favored greater access to literacy and academic study but simultaneously downplayed intellectual achievement by elevating the moral aims of instruction. America's ambivalent attitude toward the life of the mind and scholarship thus found expression in the nation's emerging school system, where character development and moral uplift took precedence even as lifeless instruction in academic subjects predominated. Setting a pattern that long endured, reform-minded citizens increasingly assumed that individual welfare and social progress depended on an extensive network of public schools.

Post #1: Bringing Blogging into the Classroom

When thinking of a blog, many people's minds go straight to travel blogs or foodie blogs, but in the digital world today a blog can be a powerful tool for education that can impact and transform the learning experiences of students and teachers. The technology space of a blog has gained world-wide popularity by making it easier to search and collect documents, share thoughts in an open public space, and contribute to communities (Blogging for Informal Learning, 2011). Blogging has helped to provide a unique opportunity for students to not only reflect on their learning, but also develop essential skills such as communication, and learn about a new resource that will allow them to dive deeper in a content area. But how exactly can blogging be incorporated into the learning environment to help students expand their knowledge and skills? 

One of the many benefits of blogging within education is that it encourages student engagement. Throughout their educational journey, students have learned how to absorb information through demonstration, textbook, and notetaking. Students can use blogs to reflect on content lessons, share insights and experiences on a given topic, and document their findings. Within my culinary classroom using blogs could look like, having students create a blog post on a recipe, the culinary techniques used within it, the development of the recipe, and things that would change or add to the recipe in order to enhance it or make it unique to them. Making the documentations about a recipe will not only help to reinforce their understanding of the culinary techniques, but also will help them to develop other skills like critical thinking. 

The second benefit of blogging that I will be talking about is how it promotes collaboration within an educational setting. “In blog-supported environments, learners

learn to and begin to appreciate information sharing, idea exchange, and collaboration, which in turn contributes to student learning or professional development” (Learning through Blogging, 2017). When students create and use blogs within learning, they can comment on each other's posts and engage in discussions with one another. Through this discussion they can offer feedback, insight, experience, and ideas from a different perspective. It's important for students to learn how to communicate and collaborate properly, as they will use those skills in their future professional environments. 

Incorporating blogging into the learning environments is an easy, yet effective way to enhance the learning experience for students, through engagement, collaboration, and communication. So give it a try in your classrooms, and you might just be surprised at the creativity and insight it brings to your students and your classroom!

Blogging as a Tool for Expanding Learning and Engagement

Incorporating blogging into the learning environment enhances student engagement, reflection, and critical thinking. Blogs provide a platform for learners to articulate their thoughts, analyze course material, and engage in meaningful discussions beyond the classroom. Through blogging, students develop digital literacy skills, improve writing proficiency, and cultivate a habit of continuous learning (Richardson, 2017).

One significant advantage of blogging is its ability to foster collaboration and peer interaction. When students read and comment on each other’s posts, they gain exposure to diverse perspectives and engage in constructive dialogue. This interaction strengthens their ability to communicate ideas effectively and critically evaluate information. Additionally, blogging encourages students to connect course concepts with real-world applications, deepening their understanding of the subject matter. Research has shown that students perceive blogging as an effective tool for knowledge-sharing, which allows them to process and retain information while actively participating in their learning communities (Abdul Kadir & Tasir, 2020).

From an instructional design perspective, blogging aligns with modern design trends that emphasize learner engagement, digital collaboration, and personalized learning experiences (Mery, 2022). Integrating multimedia elements such as images, videos, and hyperlinks further enriches the learning experience and makes content more engaging and interactive.

To maximize the effectiveness of blogging in education, instructors should provide clear guidelines, encourage thoughtful discussions, and integrate reflective prompts. By doing so, educators create a dynamic learning environment where students actively contribute to knowledge construction.

Metaverses have taken a dangerous path

Metaverses, despite their enormous potential, are under threat from regulators. In his comments, he discusses the latest trends in the cryptocurrency world and warns against possible risks.

Recent events in the digital currency space, such as the fall of crypto exchange FTX, the resignation of Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, and increased SEC pressure on Coinbase, indicate the growing influence of regulators in the digital market. 

Along with these events cryptocurrencies are gradually strengthening their positions, this became distinctly clear last year. Bitcoin has proven its viability, and now there are huge opportunities for creating new economic models and financial products based on the blockchain.

Algunos ejemplos de EduBlogs

Una herramienta digital cada vez más común en el entorno educativo son los edublogs. Estos son lugares online en los que tanto docentes como alumnos pueden interactuar entre ellos y compartir contenido e información de relevancia sobre un tema concreto.

Tras indagar un poco, la mayoría de edublogs que he podido encontrar están escritos por maestros y profesores y están dirigidos a otros profesionales educativos o han sido realizados a modo de diario de clase para que alumnos y familiares puedan ver los que se realiza en el aula.

En este post, me gustaría recomendaros cinco de los blogs que más me han gustado o que me han resultado más útiles.

BITÁCORA DE ANÍBAL DE LA TORRE

Aunque soy maestra de educación primaria, este blog dirigido a profesores de matemáticas en educación secundaria me ha llamado la atención por la gran cantidad de material docente que aporta. Este blog cuenta con unidades didácticas completas que se pueden aplicar directamente en clase, ya que incluyen explicaciones teóricas, ejercicios para que los alumnos pongan sus conocimientos a prueba y solucionarios para comprobar dichos ejercicios.

Aunque no está dirigido al alumnado de primaria, el contenido incluido puede ayudarnos a los maestros a comprender mejor conceptos matemáticos que debemos lograr que nuestros alumnos aprendan y los ejercicios se pueden modificar para realizarlos con ellos.

PORTAL EDUCATIVO EDUPEQUES

En este edublog, además de aportar materiales para que padres y maestros trabajen con los niños, se describen diversas situaciones y contextos que se pueden dar en las aulas. Asimismo, se ofrecen consejos sobre cómo afrontarlos y para mejorar el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje.

Por otra parte, además de ayudar en nuestra labor docente, para aquellos maestros que optemos a opositar, esta página nos sirve de gran ayuda a la hora de preparar una de las partes del examen escrito, ya que nos da ideas sobre cómo resolver conflictos o cómo diseñar las sesiones para que sean inclusivas con todo el alumnado.

eduBlogs Castilla-La Mancha

Desde la Consejería de Educación de Castilla-La Mancha se ha desarrollado un portal para todos los implicados en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje relacionado con edublogs. Este portal se compone por una base de datos don de los docentes pueden crear sus propios edublogs y compartirlos con los demás.

El funcionamiento de la web es bastante intuitivo, permite la búsqueda por etiquetas y temática y los blogs se dividen en varias categorías, dependiendo de la asignatura y de la etapa educativa a la que pertenezca cada entrada.

EL PUPITRE DE PILU

Este es un blog que es muy popular entre los maestros de educación infantil y de educación primaria. Por una parte, el diseño de la página es bastante simple aunque llamativo, lo que hace que sea sencilla de utilizar. Por otra parte, este blog explica una gran cantidad de actividades realizadas con alumnos en las aulas y proporciona material audiovisual interesante para la utilización en las aulas.

Adicionalmente, la página ofrece información para la formación docente que puede resultar de gran utilidad a aquellos a los que les interese.

SGAGUILAR JAVIER RAMOS

El último blog a tratar en este post está escrito por una maestro de educación infantil y de educación primaria que imparte clase en la modalidad de educación bilingüe. Este docente cuenta todo los que hace con sus alumnos en clase, incluyendo imágenes del material didáctico y algunas de las respuestas elaboradas por sus alumnos.

Además de las típicas unidades didácticas y actividades, el blog incluye información sobre diferentes proyectos, aprendizaje cooperativo o el e-Twinning. Si bien es cierto que el formato podría haberse depurado un poco más, la información aportado es de gran ayuda, sobre todo a los maestros de educación bilingüe en inglés.

Espero que con estas cinco recomendaciones, hayáis podido comprender mejor que son los edublogs, su funcionamiento y que os anime a buscar más a parte de los recomendados en este post, según vuestras necesidades como docentes y las de vuestros alumnos.
