Classroom Blogging

Oh, my. It's been a really long time since any of us has posted here! We've all been busy posting podcasts on our ITS Tech Time site and also posting to a variety of wikis and other places and I'm afraid "Digital Illuminations" has been neglected.

Anyway, I'm back with this post.

I've just listened to an excellent podcast on the topic of classroom blogging. It's a recording of a presentation done by Bob Sprankle at the ACTEM (Association of Computer Technology Educators of Maine) Annual Conference held last fall. He has wonderful examples of how and why to use blogging with students. He also has links to a myriad of classroom blogging resources. You will find the links below.

He mentions an issue with using Blogger with students which is that of the blue bar at the top that links to other, random blogs. If you would like to begin blogging with your students, but this is a concern you have with using Blogger in the classroom, please email me and I can fill you in on some options for addressing that.
