I've been using a blog to share daily (well almost daily) things with my students for the past year or so. We also have a Wiki. The blog is at http://yorksci.wordpress.com/ and our wiki is at http://yorksci.wikispaces.com/.
Sometimes students are required to post on the blog and or the wiki. Sometimes they are used as resources.
What I would like to do this year is to find a blogging tool where I can create a blog that is open to the kids posting on specific things as well as topics of interest. I could do this with the wiki...if each student has their own page on a topic of interest, but I want it to be more interactive.
Any ideas from anyone? I don't like using Edublogs. The server is really slow. Blogger is blocked by our school.
Looking for some ideas as well as sharing what I've done.
Howdy..it is 12:10 and I bet I am the first to blog since the announcement:) I am on reserve power but anyway...I am enjoying the conversations all around me and learning new tips left and right. I would like to post a notebook somewhere but I'm not certain if thereis a space for it here??? Looking forward to afternoon sessions..... here is a starting blog at my school http://msad54communityforums.org/communities/technologyrich/default.aspx
