This blog, along with all my weblog based school sites, was featured in an article by Joyce Valenza who writes the Tech.Life@School column for the Philadelphia Inquirer. It’s titled “Blogging works best as an ongoing effort” and it provides a nice introduction to the varied possibilities of weblogs in schools: “When it works well as an educational tool, blogging involves students in content, critical reading, and thoughtful, reflective writing.” My blogs are featured as an attempt to “expand the classroom beyond its traditional walls to involve parents, other teachers, and other schools.” In a large part this is what I’m trying to accomplish this year through my weblogs, and I’m looking for others to join me.
If you’re visiting for the first time because of this article, welcome. Take some time to read the posts, click on the links, become a member, and join the conversation. If you would like to collaborate with any of my classes please leave a comment or e-mail me. I would like to be able to offer my students choices for collaboration. This could range from working with other schools in different part of the US or world, to interacting with a college class, an expert in a related field, or local community organizations. I’m always open to ideas that create a richer learning environment for my students. That’s the real power of weblogs!
