Today's student blog postings
I've made it a point to take some time out of my busy day to relax and read and respond to some student blogs at our school's blog headquarters. I'll try not to do this too ofter..but sometimes the writing and reflection are so good...I just have to share. So here is what has me thinking tonight.
Even though there are no privacy online but these blogs help you alot.On Joho’s Blog it talked about how some students use web to createstudy guidesadn teachers use it for replacement for bulletin board andshare information online with parents. Also this Ap calculus class,students take turn to be the note-taker and post notes on a blog. Ifound it very amusing because we can do so much online and i think inthe future we will use blog more than before. Also we will just dohomework online and just blog everything online.
OMG…tch i donno wht 2 say….. Did you understand any of these words? Ifyou didn’t, then I don’t balme you. The tech teacher in my school askme a simple question which had led to an arguement;†Should you useMSN talk when writing a blog?†(Full Disclosure...I'm the tech teacher)
Should we post stuff with chat language on blogs? A lot of peopledo. In my opinion, if it’s a piece of research or something serious orimportant, you shouldn’t put chat language inside. No one will take youseriously.
dear people,
I am reading a book called “Charlie Bone and the Hidden Kingâ€. It’sa fantastic book, lots of mini mysteries going on and lots of magicunlike “Harry Potterâ€.
Today my class started something new called a monologue. The wordmonologue split up is mono, which means one, and logue, which meansspeak. It means that you are a character and you are just talking tonobody, kind of like your thoughts.
Like I tell my students...if you feel a need to comment do...if not...that's OK...we don't always engage in every conversation we have. :) Here's the amazing part. These posts span 5-12 grade. Different topics, and different ideas. I'm finding the site a fascinating place just to learn what's on the mind of our students and what they're learning in class. If you're looking for a place to comment with your blogging students let me point you to 140+ blogs as blogs.saschinaonline.org. The blogging headquarters of Shanghai American School.
AWESOME!
