Kudos to you for introducing this teaching strategy. This was a nice reflection of a creative process integrating new technology into the classroom. I see some additional benefits you did not mention such as: -students motivating each other to produce excellent work -students being responsible for their own learning -encouraging team work -building self esteem Keep up the good work! Connee Anne,

I admire your creativity in using and integrating social software in education. Imho your blog entries can be very helpful for other teachers. Education needs more teachers like you. Best regards from the Netherlands and keep up the good work. Hi Anne,

The kids are going to be working on their thank you posts to commenters next week - we started today but ran out of time. TIME - our obstacle! We need to demand the time to do our jobs! I so appreciate your comments here and especially the ones for the kids. Thank you. Best, Anne Chris,

Lots of quick writes built around the concept of writing to learn. I haven't used this since I don't have my own classroom but Darren Kuropatwa's concept for using scribes gets to the heart of writing to show what you have learned. Check out this link: http://adifference.blogspot.com/2006/11/distributed-teaching-and-learning_21.html He has high school but the concept could be adapted to elementary or middle. When I taught elementary we used current events to make connections to what we were learning through writing. I have used this concept with previous blogging projects. See my past blogging projects on the link on the sidebar to "My Weblog Projects". Best, Anne Daryl,

I don't know if it'd work with younger kids - what you're doing sounds great and I love the seriousness of their approach.

Yes, they do want to speed through it and say they fixed their errors is very typical at the elementary level. Thanks for sharing your strategies to encourage this very important skill. The podcast idea to "hear" their writing is interesting and a teaching strategy that I might have to explore. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the idea of having kids write more, that you aluded to earlier in your post.
