Please post your archived sessions. I could not attend the live sessions and am very interested in reviewing them. Thank you.

Who should I contact (and how) if I viewed an archived webinar and completed the feedback form with all information, but have not received an email with proof of hours for recertification purposes? I am new to this and would like to continue participating, but want to make sure I understand how to get credit for my time.

I play this word game. I think a good game. I would recommend people who like brain teasers. http://www.orenglish.com/boggl...

I have manually added them so that the teachers can share usernames and passwords. When I did this the first time, it created a csv file that I shared with the others for their creation as well. The file is uploaded into your class section of KidBlog.

This way we know their passwords (they can't tell us they forgot it and have no record of it) and since we share them, the kids have the same password for each teacher. They already have soooo many passwords, this seems to be easiest for them to manage.

I agree - I think we should embrace a blogging site or a few as a school so that students are familiar with them. We could even create lessons together!

How many different blog sites should kids use? Should a grade level introduce one or a few??

Re: Blogging and Microblogging – Belfast

Heidi — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 12:47:16 -0000

Did you put the kids in manually? I just looked at the site and set up an account and was unsure the best way to get the kids in.

I wonder what a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting of texting and blogging would look like: do people tend to prefer one over the other exclusively?

I do KidBlog in the classroom for assignments. When we have gone into the lab, I have used this to get them to reflect on what they observed with their experiment. This has helped to clear up misconceptions they have had, as well as to see their thinking about the lab and things that I may need to change if the lab is done again.

Blogging is very easy, but I am not sure I want to use it in my classroom. I need more information before making my decision.

I would like to share lesson ideas for using blogging to enhance instruction.

I am interested in blogging, but would like to explore some specific sites designated for classroom use. Also, has anyone developed a list of discussion topics/ good starter posts to get things moving?

The quote you provided ("Students can hit any target . . . .") made me think; "How many times do I move the target and expect students to still hit it?" Thank you for sharing it. Some of my students are really great archers!

You were clear about your position on "friending" students. I would have been interested in the positive ways you connect with students to develop meaningful relationships.

Engaging hook! Using the voice of your former student pulls me right into the dialogue and debate.

When you summarized your work, I felt like you were part of our group. Same ideas! But, written as only a Language Arts teacher could, not like our team of the career prep and art teacher.
