Blogging--In the Classroom and Out
Blogging is intriguing to me, but is also new and something I have to work at to include in my teaching and life. I have used it successfully, but wish to incorporate it even more next school year. I know I will continute to use it in psychology and already am formulating plans to increase the amount that I use it. I also am planning to have my students (in the English IV class I will be teaching for next fall. Got to love those new preps!! LOL) do their journal writing on blogs...I haven't decided what format, hosting site, etc. yet.
I hope that you learned a little and enjoyed the opportunity to practice blogging. What are you reactions to blogs (before today and/or today)? What do you think you will be using them for? What did you think of the presentation and the opportunity to give this a try?

I think blogging is an interesting concept for education--especially since so many kids use it so much outside of school. I tried blogging a little bit this school year, but would like to incorporate it more next year. I actually started doing it so I could list homework online, but I did quite poorly with tht this year. Better luck next year when I start at the beginning of the year!

Next year, our district is going to spend a whole lot of money to do homework online. This would be a whole lot easier, except some staff will have difficulties because of the bad press with MySpace and Facebook. I'm really excited about doing this. In fact, I emailed my tech guy about the logistics and legalties of this.
Thanks a lot.

I'm glad I had this chance to be introduced to the world of blogging! Thanks for the overview and for your patience in walking me through the steps of the on-line process as I was learning today. It was important to me to update my technology knowledge--you're definitely not cool if you don't know how to blog! :) I can see possibilities for communicating with the parents of my students via blogging, and I really like the idea of showcasing students' artwork too!

With permission from our tech administrator, I would like my Spanish students to respond to my prompts (in Spanish) via a blog. These online journals would be more interesting to them than traditional paper and pencil ones.
