Classroom Blogs Begin

Well, the psychology class used the blogs as a jumping off point for our first discussion. It went well. If it continues to be such a good springboard it will be just what I was looking for. They all commented read each other's comments and then I gave them one day to digest that before we discussed in class. They all had imput and were definitely engaged in the discussion. So, one success.

Yesterday I invited the Geomentry class to their blog. Today I intend to invited Algebra II and Precalculus to their respective blogs. I hope that they also will be beneficial and aid in the students ability to both understand and communicate that understanding.

I am still concerned about management and whether blogs are the way to go since there is Safe Net and we have Class Server (but, the ability to read each other's comments is what I was looking for and I don't believe that Class Server supports that). So, anyhow...my field research is beginning.
