My quarter ends the 22nd. My current students will be blogging until then. My next class comes to me on 1/25. We will probably start blogging by the 2nd week of February. Let me know. I have a great conversation currently posted for my students today. "There have been a great deal of advancements in technology over the past decade. This includes the internet and web 2.0. Do you think these technology advancements have been beneficial to society? If so, how?". Let me know if you are interested now or next quarter and I would be happy to add your email to our blog site or I can set up an email for you.. Thanks you for your response.

I teach 7th grade in Edison, NJ! My students are familiar with Web 2.0; we have a class wiki they absolutely love! I also integrate media literacy topics with my English/LA curriculum, so these are things my kids are familiar with. Would love more info about what you're doing :) My students and I would love this opportunity!

I'm trying to teach my students more about collaboration, web 2.0 and technology advancements. We also have topics centered around what is important to them as topics in school, lunch, classes, etc. I also have a literacy class I could and should integrate into the blog where we can discuss literacy topics etc..
My current post is: "There have been a great deal of advancements in technology over the past decade. This includes the internet and web 2.0. Do you think these technology advancements have been beneficial to society? If so, how?

Do you think you would be interested? If so, please let me know your email and I will send you an invitation to our blog.

This is definitely something I would be interested in doing, but I just want to make sure it is connected to what I'm doing in my classroom so all of our students can benefit! Right now I'm working on persuasive writing, and it would be great if you could find a way to connect the student's blog focus to the focus of our current unit!

Let me know what you think!
