Welcome

Welcome to our Class Blog!
We'll use this blog to comment on readings for Chapters 1-3 of Blogs, Wikis, and Podcasts. By commenting here, you'll get practice in blogging while you go about the task of setting up your own blog. (See Blogging Assignment for guidelines).

In the right sidebar, I have included A Blog List, which will provide updates on each of your blogs. [Until you have set up your blogs, I am keeping a sample of several blogs from last Spring.]

Use the The Link List: Sample Teacher Blogs to find an example blog to comment on in the first assignment.

Blogging Assignment


Assignment (10% of Course Grade)  See Rubric.

Students will be divided into study groups. Each member of the group will create a blog and post weekly, for three weeks.  Group members will also comment on each other’s blogs during this time period.  The goal of this assignment is for students to:
• Use blogging tools for educational purposes, including for small group reflection and discussion.
• Reflect on course learning, particularly about the use of blogs in the K-12 classroom and the school and broader professional community.

Students in the study group will be graded individually, based on the substantive qualities of their blogs.

  1. Dear Professor Rodrigues,
    What do we do if one of our group mates does not post their weekly blog post? Do we still comment on their page?
