by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:05:12 PM
Sharing personal introduction off of her own website.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:09:27 PM
She wants the intro to be interesting and funny so kids will go home and get parents to visit.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:10:30 PM
Publishes website at every opportunity (notes home, on board, etc.)
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:11:06 PM
Scribblelive allows comments. Can someone try this? I'd like to see how the moderation works. Thanks!
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:12:14 PM
Thanks, Jonathan--very easy tool.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:12:57 PM
I will do that--it can be embedded into an existing blog, right?
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:14:29 PM
Teacher's site has fairly detailed homework description posted every day.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:15:43 PM
Any idea about Edublogs (WP platform)?
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:16:56 PM
Brigitte puts every thing she wants the kids to do for the day, including relevant links and resources.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:17:53 PM
Great! I'll hook that up before the next session I attend.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:18:38 PM
I do appreciate it--looks like a very easy to use, useful resource! I typically have used Coveritlive, but this is much easier to use.

Kids who are too embarrassed to ask questions need to be able to get sufficient details/information to work from the site.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:22:00 PM
Focus on home pages and activities pages.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:22:56 PM
Publish work to page and emphasize the international nature of this to the kids.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:23:46 PM
Importance of publishing kids' work to both the kids and the parents. Be sure to advertise heavily.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:26:02 PM
When adding links, pick 10 or 15 favorites, so list doesn't become too cumbersone.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:27:20 PM
Blog pages--wanted to call them journals, but kids liked the name blog, and were motivated to write in a blog.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:33:10 PM
Showing examples of student blog posts in math.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:35:59 PM
Students give detailed, written explanations of how they solved math problems (great idea).
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:36:21 PM
Good way to see what processes students are going through mentally.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:36:44 PM
Says students don't even complain when they have to rewrite posts, because they are blogging.
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:37:07 PM
Level of student detail is quite significant.

by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:41:47 PM
(Hmmm, that was in italics--not sure how I did that.)
by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:42:51 PM

by rrodgers at 2/5/2009 8:46:11 PM
Easy enough.

Session over. Now to learn how to move it to blog.
