It's amazing how once I started blogging and realized its relevance, I immediately wanted to take it to my students and get them blogging. Our school won't let us do it yet. But I can totally see my kids getting stoked about checking out the analytics and rankings, and then writing(with a purpose) to get more readers and think more analytically.

I like the sketchcasts at your blog.<br />
I need to get back to that program and think of ways to get kids using it.<br />
I had tried, but then found (I think) that you can't quite moderate and/or edit once the sketch is completed, so I decided against it.<br />
Still, I love the concept -- particularly for the math.<br />

I started blogging the summer of 2006 in my Masters of Educational Technology program [online] through <a href="http://gsep.pepperdine.edu/education/ma-educational-technology/">Pepperdine</a>. I blogged my classroom observations for documentation for my Action Research Project. I started my own blog as a continuation of that process. I found the reflective process of sharing what I do in my classroom helpful for myself but also as a place to document online resources. I also use my blog as my "online presence" for professional contacts for conference presentations.

I have always enjoyed writing, but never put much stock in blogs until I got on CR 2.0. The collaborative power of this network turned me on to the "relevance" of blogs in education. I'd subscribed to several blogs, but never thought of doing my own until I realized how it could enhance the classroom experience for my students. I started my <a href="http://mrmansour.edublogs.org">class blog</a> in January and it's been a hit. The students enjoy watching sketchcasts and checking out pictures and…
I have always enjoyed writing, but never put much stock in blogs until I got on CR 2.0. The collaborative power of this network turned me on to the "relevance" of blogs in education. I'd subscribed to several blogs, but never thought of doing my own until I realized how it could enhance the classroom experience for my students. I started my <a href="http://mrmansour.edublogs.org">class blog</a> in January and it's been a hit. The students enjoy watching sketchcasts and checking out pictures and stories. It's a quick and efficient way to post class lessons and news. Earlier this month I started a <a href="http://mrmansour.com/Blog">second blog</a> as a reference point for other teachers who ask how I used a Web 2.0 tool or wonder about a project. Though I don't update it as regularly, it's a fun project for me to work on.

Does that mean that every teacher blogs?<br />
Interesting, if so.<br />
Are they open or closed?<br />
And what kind of policies does the district put into place (ie, can you criticize the administration?)<br />
Thanks<br />

I got into blogging first through the National Writing Project, which provided me with a classroom blog (the Manila platform, which was not that great for what I was trying to do) and then a fellow NWP colleague told me, "How come you are not blogging?" and that set me into motion towards Edublogs.<br />

Sarah, I was the same way-I loved writing stories as a child, but hated the thought of journaling! I got so many journals/diaries as gifts and I didn't know what to do with them. For me, blogging is so different...when I find something really cool about technology and education and want to share it, no one cares except those I work with. So I really focus on sharing those ideas within my blog and getting another teacher to learn a little more about web 2.0. I don't know how many people actually…
