EduBlog Insights

educational technology consultant who emailed me about a blog

participation slip for an elementary school. I referred her to a few

sites and she came up with the following [Macro error: Can’t call the script because the name “manilaSuite” hasn’t been defined.]
. I

thought I’d share with those of you who are interested. Lori is

planning to implement a weblog at her daughter’s elementary school. I

asked her to keep us posted.

Just received an email from Lori giving an update:

Now that our science blog is populated with some content, I am

sharing the link with you.

The

teacher’s vision for her blog is in the blog description at the top. I think her

approach, and the science focus is really unique. She’s definitely an innovator

at our school.

I have been in the classroom to help facilitate the

science and the initial blogging activity. Now, the kids are training each other

and it’s pretty much a self-sustaining system. I am especially struck by how

some of the children have really taken to express themselves and their

personalities in this forum. And they think it’s fun! I define that as a

success.

Feel free to share this if you would like. It’s closed to

outside comments (unfortunately) because the administration is concerned about

security, but I think feedback, especially from educators, is really valuable.

And, your advice and comments have been very helpful already. Thanks again for

taking the time.

Best regards,

Lori
