I challenge you…..
“Writing is just one area that weblogs can help improve when implemented
in the K-12 curriculum. I challenge you to design a weblog to help in
other areas of the curriculum.”
This challenge comes straight from Hillary Meeler of EduBlog Quest. I
love it! Hillary is the Instructional Technology Specialist from J. H.
House. I’ve written about her before. This is her first year in this
particular job and I have been impressed. She was with me this past
Friday at the inservice for the DeKalb teachers. She took notes while I
was talking. It’s so nice to have “jot notes” from sessions. The words
in red signify questions from the teachers in the audience. I got to
thinking about this and thought that this would be a great skill to
teach the kids. They don’t get many opportunities to do something like
this but it would be a good experience. It’s not easy to take notes but
it really helps in so many ways, not the least of which is sharing it with others. This
DeKalb group began creating blogs on Blogger at the end of the session
and shared lots of good ideas they had for some other blogs they wanted
to create. We look forward to hearing more from them down the road.
Hillary is not only a good teacher and note-taker but she is busy
coming up with ideas for blogs. She has created a nice new weblog
called House Highlights. It’s going to be an informative and upbeat blog about the happenings at House! Hillary is making it happen!
