I am very frustrated! It took a long time to log in to blogger.com. It refused to accept my user and pw until I had gone out and back in like a million times on 3 computers and I went thru the whole process of reverifying my account, ect. I wasted a ton of time--not worth it.
Well, I have gathered a few resources. As I mentioned in my previous post, I already had 4 articles I was going to use. Now I found a few more and some books:
1. I found an article entitled "Computer-mediated copperative development: nonjudgemental discourse in online environments." I think this might turn out to be about how users interact in online discourse environments, such as email, IM, and maybe I can take this info and further extrapolate some of the same ideas for blogging, discussion boards, etc. We'll see.
2. I found a bk chapter about using technology for ESL composition. From what I scanned, it didn't have anything to do with blogging, etc, but part of it is about the effects of technology on L2 writing--so it might be helpful.
3. I found another article entitled "What Unskilled ESL Writers do as they write: A classroom study of composing." I think this article might help me explain the writing process of ESL stduents should I choose to do so as part of the background of my paper. I am still not entirely sure what my paper is going to be focused on so I might not need this but I am not sure.
4. Jackpot! I knew Essential Teacher had at one time published an article about blogs and I found it: "Blogs for Language Learning." ET is not the most schoolarly pub by any means, but I knew it much more so than TESOL Quarterly would have info on this subject b/c it always addressed tech in lang learning in some way.
5. ET had another article: "BLogs, the Virtual Soapbox" which I will look into.
I need to go and photocopy/checkout some of this stuff I found.
