Blog Update

The teacher I was discussion in my earlier post began his blog last week. I have included a link below. So far the blog has been used for discussion between students. Right now he's trying to get the students familiar with the process. One assignment has the students reflect on a guest speaker that came to their class.

A blog on blogging

Today I began to help a teacher in my department set-up a blog for his class. I suggested he use a blog in one of his resource classes. Discussion is an important part of this class because some of the focus is on developing social skills. The blog will enable him to monitor comments between students and allow all students to have a voice.

I'll put a post later with a link to the blog once it's up and running.
