Thinking Outside the Box
I’m working with Lauretta Burton today and she is creating an EduBlog for classroom use next year in her biology class. Right now she is in the “thinking” stage and trying to plan out just how she wants to use this tool. I’ve asked Lauretta to “blog” her thoughts at this point. Remember, she has had just two short sessions to learn about this.
When I spoke with Anne about communication tools for my students I envisioned a page that would keep both the student and parent linked to what we would be doing in class. I wanted the students to be updated on homework, tests etc. The idea of webblogging has a far greater potential than what I had imagined. I view weblogging has an opportunity to get my students to “THINK and WRITE” about the learning that will take place in the classroom this year! Weblogging requires you to “think outside the box”.
Lauretta’s going back home to explore the Manila possibilities…. The name of her site is T.E.A.M. Discovery. I know we will be hearing more from Lauretta!
