About bg

Barbara Ganley recently left higher education to set up the nonprofit, Digital Explorations, dedicated to helping rural towns in the United States explore the impact of social media on physical community, through the creation of downtown Centers for Community Digital Exploration. Previously she taught writing at Middlebury College where she explored creative dissonance across formal and informal contexts through the use of social media within writing classrooms. Her research and artistic interests include the multimedia Web essay and restory, and slow-blogging as a vehicle for personal expression, community-building, and connected learning. She situates herself at the slow-blogging, out-of-school-altogether end of edupunk. You can find her blogging here at bgblogging.wordpress.com.

    Dear Barbara,
    I am looking for resources on group blogging in literature seminars. I stumbled on the text of a 2004 talk you gave on the topic. Do you have anything more recent or can you point me to any resources? Thanks very much.

    David

    Dear Barbara,
    Thanks for your blog and thoughts. I think the slow schooling in India has given rise to McDonald approach and traditional learning was lost. How do you think the old way of slow learning that was prevalent to be re nurtured?
