Blogging and brain

Drs. Fernette and Brock Eide believe that blogging changes our mind and offers many positive opportunities for (critical) thinking.

Recent international surveys have shown that students in the United
States have fallen far behind most of their first world peers in problem
solving and critical thinking. This fall has coincided with a shameful
decline in school-based instruction in critical analysis, rhetoric, and
persuasive writing. However because professionals like attorneys, philosophers, and academicians run many excellent blogs, we all can benefit from their intellectual rigor, and
their use of analogical thinking when communicating to the common world of the
blogosphere. Back-and-forth blog-based exchanges between experts also provide a
unique opportunity for young thinkers to witness and evaluate arguments from
analogy on an ongoing basis, and to develop their own abilities to think analogically.
