It appears that blogs are still in. Will Richardson’s session (webblog-ed) was filled to capacity. Presentation originated from a room offering participants the
opportunity to use refurbished old computers running a stripped down
open source operating system without a harddrive. Folks looking for
ways to contain costs and offer more equipment.
Blogging about blogging (metablogging) seems a little much and since I am assuming there will be 30-40 posts from this venue I will save my battery for another day (post).
Will did identify some wiki sites that he has worked on to offer information and resources related to educational blogging:
http://weblogged.wikispaces.com/Weblogs+in+Schools
http://webloggedlinks.pbwiki.com/
If there was one point from the presentation that I would regard as a kind of core message it was that you must be a participant before being an advocate.
Administrators feel blogs are just too much trouble – be a blogger and explain why this is helpful to you in your own professional development.
Want your students to learn from blogging – be a blogger and show then how.
