Wow! I am thrilled to be here. I can’t wait to try this with my class.
Hi Burt,
This class has been great tonight. I am looking forward to all the rest of them, especially the podcasting part.
I had no clue about the rss stuff-learned alot about that tonight and I can think of ways to use it already.
Thanks,
Sara
Great class! I can’t wait to show you the podcasting attempts I’ve made thus far!
I am looking forward to utilizing blogging and podcasting in my classroom. I will start with setting up a blog that will act as the science question of the week. It will give both the students and myself time to get used to the system. Once that is underway, I will move into producing a blog that will allow for parent-teacher interaction.
Lets get to it!!!!
I am learning a lot. Thanks.
My worry was trying to get tied down to a blog. But now I see it is more than a diary, but a classroom tool! Cool!
I actually have been a “blogger” for a little over a year and I personally love blogging. Last year I started one as a way to track my kitchen remodel. It was really cool to see friends from all over the world log on to my blog to witness my kitchen being demolished. I see blogging as a great tool for enhancing the writing skills of many students. With a blog you can give them a purpose for writing on a topic they enjoy.

I am familiar with blogs as I have a few friends who blog and I like to read what they have to say. I have thought of using them in class as a way to let the students show what they have learned. I have taken a workshop on podcasting and have played around a little with making one. I would like to be able to post some of my lectures and project information for students and parents to review later.
I am inteested in doing two things right away if I am able. I want to have my students do research for a given topic through feeds I provide for them. I need to learn how to safely post student work to the net for all to see (that is parents, family, and friends).
Great information tonight. This is a whole new area for me. It will be interesting to see what my third graders can do.
I am excited about what is possible. Of course doing this with my notes is another matter.I hope to use this as an interview process in social studies.
I just got on Moodle so I am looking for things to use to help reach out to my students. My students are very young so I will have to think out of the box in involving them and their roll in all of this technology.
I am really excited about becoming proficient at blogging in order to introduce it into my classroom. It will take me a lot of practice to be able to use blogging comfortably with my students. I do think it will be worth the effort to be able to engage my students in this great technology activity.
I like to share this tools with the school 7th and 8th teachers and I am sure they will use it. I find blogging very interesting and I will use it with upper classrooms students.
