Teaching & learning & technology How can students learn & benefit?  Constructivist approach  Understanding through piecing together the pieces of a newly discovered jigsaw puzzle  Collaboration, decision making and critical thinking  Taking ownership and exercising responsibility

Teaching & learning & technology Teacher led and student run Using technology that is…  Friendly  Forgiving  Fun Keep it simple

Blogs and learning Encourages students to write Students will write even when they do not need to Reach out to world Feedback from peers, teachers and the world (possibly) Some students do not participate Some students will not participate

Blogs and learning Students link up with the writings of others Collaborative blogs Students realise that their peers can read their work ~ motivating Progress reports Project diaries Field reports Personal Interest Projects (PIP)

Blogs and learning Different approaches  Single teacher blog ~ simple  Single class blog ~ questions, PBL  Small group blogs ~ manageable  Individual student blogs ~ challenging to manage The blogs can be monitored in a “news reader” and via

Management Open a dedicated Google Account  Gmail ~ manage passwords, activity  Google Reader ~ review posts Open a dedicated EduBlogs account  Teacher blog  Classroom blog  Student blogs

Management Username and Passwords  Same for Edublogs and Google  Never use your banking or financial PIN Be consistent Example:  Username: yearninehistory  Password: ********** Make a note of it somewhere if memory fails you

Management Bookmark the three main sites…  Class Blog  Gmail account  Google Reader Add them to a bookmark folder ~ open in Tabs

Management Teacher Blog ~ starting point ~ know your way around  You are in total control

Management Classroom Blog ~ next step ~ start small  Teacher ~ administrator  Student ~ co-author  eduBlogs: Classroom Blog > Users > Add Users  eduBlogs: Classroom Blog > Users > Authors & Users  Change roles according to your needs or comfort level

Management Individual Student Blogs ~ management challenge  Teacher as administrator  Student ~ author or contributor… editor?  Create via class blog  eduBlogs: Classroom Blog > Users > Blog & User Creator  eduBlogs: Each Student Blog > Users > Authors & Users  Change roles according to your needs or comfort level

Management Managing Posts  This can be achieved via the use of Google Reader  Or, subscribe to each blog via dedicated Gmail account EduBlogs > Design > Widgets > Subscription

Management Managing Comments  EduBlogs > Settings > Discussion  Moderate comments via dedicated Gmail account

Management Or, simply…. Introduce each student to edublogs Ask the students  to open an account  Invite you to be an author Empower the students

Structuring elements Blog or the Wiki can be the headquarters Students subscribe to the blog so that they know what is happening with the:  Wiki  Podcast  Flickr  Other web 2.0 tools The blog or the wiki can be the engine room for the online project A RSS reader and can be used to monitor the project

Structure ~ Example 1 Blog Wiki FlickrPodcastJaiku*Del.icio.us Content Images Audio ~ VideoUpdates Bookmarks RSS News Reader ~ Aggregator

Structure ~ Example 2 Wiki Blog FlickrPodcastJaikuDel.icio.us Content Images Audio ~ VideoUpdates Bookmarks RSS News Reader ~ Aggregator

Remember… Posterous Simply the best place to begin blogging
