Tattletales This is a place where students tell me what is going on in their classrooms. Through our dialog, I will probe their thoughts to get them to state their opinions on various activities and provide supporting statments to back opinions up.

This final week we are focusing on “Finding our voices and building and community” and then will be “sharing final thoughts and reflections for those entering the weblog world.” It has been nice to have a period of six weeks and it has been interesting conducting sessions online. I’ll post our evaluation and reflections on the sessions after next week. Plus, some of my observations about the free software programs that were used for weblogs.
