Alrighty, I'm inspired. After reading through Chapter 2 in BW&P (Blogs, Wikis, and Podcasts), I feel pretty excited to go back to my school and experiment with blogs in a few different aspects. Our school website is pretty tired and rarely updated. I don't believe that any classes employ blogs for student use or for communication purposes. Oh, and I'm pretty sure that I taught my principal how to use Amazon last year. Soooooooooo...we need a little e-spruce.

I just sent my p-pal some links of examples from Chapter 2 so that he can see some of what I'm talking about when I throw around this lingo. I think this could also somehow be tied into my poster project.

I love that I'm excited about this. For those of you who know me, you know that I tend to be sarcastic and a tad pessimistic, but really! I really, really am excited about this. Let's hope the p-pal is as receptive to new ideas as we are. I'll post later about any new developments...

  1. Online portfolios, book discussions, responses to class readings.... I will look for your reactions to the sample blogs! There are many, many options! Glad you are seeing it, too!

  3. I like that you said " I love that I am so excited about this." I agree whole heartedly! I often times find myself feeling not as excited about technology as I feel about books. This information brings excitement and reminds me how important all of these tools are in our schools!
