Response to Your Comments

Thanks for taking the time to post such thoughtful comments, everyone. I hope you all take the time to read one another's comments. They show how much variety we bring to this topic. I think this is representative of all of our schools in general; one teacher very much at ease with integrated teaching is next door to a colleague whose experiences have been more frustrating than successful. Not unlike other aspects of our craft - some of us are naturally effective with discipline, others connect readily with at-risk students, and still others seem to be effortless in engaging learners with unique opportunities, as examples. We can learn from one another if we are willing to share strengths and work on weaknesses together. Perhaps this short series of meetings will give each of you something new to move you along on your path to even better teaching.

Feel free to add to the discussion.

Welcome!

Welcome to blogging for the Cross-School Seminar. This blog is a place for all of us to post some thoughts and reactions while we learn about one of the most important new sources of information available online. While blogs are most often public journals with a single author, ours will demonstrate how a blog might be used with a group of learners to share information.

For a great site on blogging for the classroom visit Educational Blogging 101 - a wiki (we'll get to that, too) about blogging in school. Lots of very good links there. Note especially The Daily D on the link to Class blogs.


To keep this one organized for the entire class, I'll be posting a prompt before each session to which you will reply or "comment." It will be interesting to see how each of our voices comes out here even though we will be able to talk to one another in our sessions.
