How blogs can be used: communication, communication, communication. Open the doors to creativity and discussion.
Potential problem: time to monitor appropriate blogging on the teacher’s part.

Thanks for the examples. At Becker MS we are trying to begin bloging in our 6th grade science academy class as well as our 8th grade English academy class.
Problem: Students access to internet. Teachers who want to use it heavily would need to make sure that students have alternative internet resources (Other that home).

How can you see blogging as a tool to enhance the curriculum on your campus?
-It provides another forum for active communication between students. Teachers can also provide specific feedback.
What can you see as a problem when it comes to implementing blogging on your campus?
-Would be a challenge to apply this to the lower primary grades.

I want to use blogging for professional development. Teachers can post best practices, share ideas…
Trying to get the teachers to buy into it!

Use in building: weekly reading questions, problem of the week, journal, reading log
Problems: One more thing….
I see my building using this as a weekly tool for journaling, weekly questions, or other writing tool.
Problems: just one more thing…

I think blogging can be a way to link to the world and put your ideas into the public domain. I think it can be used as a publishing tool, a discussion tool, and a classroom resource. The problem is like anything in education–time and priorities.
P.S. Could you put my blog on your Escobedo MS blogroll?

I teach a 7th grade ELA block and didn’t even know what “blog” stood for before transferring to this school. Now, with the help of an ECS who doesn’t make newbies feel stupid, I have used my blog as a touchtone to keep track of where my students are on their project as well as ask their opinions/feedback on “hot topics” in class. My students are awesome learners, I couldn’t be left behind (totally) eating their dust! Challenges? Finding the time, as Deb said!
