Malaysian Bloggers Form an Alliance
The Associated Press reports that a group of fifty bloggers in Malaysia have formed an alliance to protect bloggers from the Malaysian government. Malaysian online political commentators have formed a group to protect bloggers’ interests after two of them were sued by a newspaper with close government ties. The National Alliance of Bloggers’ main goal is to “protect bloggers,” and to try to get the government to see their point of view and why they have made certain postings, the new group’s president, Ahirudin Attan, wrote on his popular blog “Rocky’s Bru.” The alliance was formed late Thursday, Ahirudin wrote. About 50 of Malaysia’s popular online personalities held a meeting and decided to start the organization because a few bloggers were being “demonized again and again” by the government, Ahirudin said. “When certain quarters in government become hostile towards bloggers, I believe they mean to aim their hostility at a small group of bloggers or online writers whose views and takes of current affairs they fear,” Ahirudin wrote. Just a few weeks ago Malaysia’s Information Minister warned people not to trust blogs. Now two bloggers have been sued by a newspaper linked to the government. No wonder the bloggers are trying to organize. It’s clear the Malaysian government is trying to crack down on them and silence criticism.

Classroom Blogs a Hit Among Students
A Vail Daily article says young students in Glenwood Springs are using blogs to become more appreciative of writing and take pride in their work. The article lists some responses to a question posted on the class blog about whether or not there should be more or less homework. It was a recent question to third-graders in Shellie Dix’s class blog at Glenwood Springs Elementary School. “I want less homework,” Maia wrote. “I think we are really good at writing so we don?t need that for homework. I think we have the hang of math. I think we could read independently. I think we should have more reading at school and less at home. “Please can we have less homework?” But there are more posts asking for more homework instead of less. “Ms. Dix I want more homework!” Grace wrote. “If you give us more homework we’ll be so cool. I will be 100% more smart. I will tell you the fifth-graders are going to say … wow they are smart.” Most of these classroom blogs are closed to outside Internet visitors so the students get to experience blogging with just teachers and fellow students. Some of the educational blogging software available also allows students to blog from home. The article also mentions classrooms using Oracle’s Think.com software. They quote a teacher who says some students enjoy blogging so much they even give up recess time. Posted in Education Permalink | Recent Headlines | WWFeeds.com
