Zawilinski's article, "HOT Blogging: A Framework for Blogging to Promote Higher Order Thinking," allowed me to have a greater understanding of blogs in the classroom. Although I read many blogs both for personal leisure and professional use, I never thought about the categories of blogs, including News Blogs, Mirror Blogs, Showcase Blogs, and Literature Response Blogs. I am hoping to create a library blog this year featuring book reviews, student work, and library news. I now understand that my blog will be a mix of a News Blog and a Showcase Blog. Although I am in a high school library setting, this is the blog type that I feel would be most appropriate and well-received. Now, it is up to me to begin blogging, recruit students to contribute, and figure out a way to market the blog effectively. I am looking forward to receiving ideas about marketing from my classmates.
