Blogroom: how to enhance a university classroom using Web 2.0 tools

Abstract

The work describes the methodological evolution and pedagogical reasons that have enabled the implementation, in 2007/2008, of a blogroom to teach computer science in the University of Florence’s College of Medicine. An innovation that decidedly upsets the traditional teaching approach by using free or low cost tools but, more importantly, by making students active in their own education.
