Blogging Experience – Wrap Up

Blogging Experience – Wrap Up

Comments 6 comments

Well we are coming into the home stretch of the blogging experience. I believe overall it has been a success. We started with 27 participants two officially drop out after we began. Thirteen people participated fully and blogged about their education specialty, the rest practiced the mechanics of blogging and commenting but without real educational substance. The goal was to expose people to blogging. Within our district there is now a larger group of people who can help make more…

I am not sure what to call it, housekeeping, digital clean up, or web maintenance. But whatever it is, it has taken up quite a bit of time and I am not yet done. In my role as K12 Technology Integration Specialist, I feel it is part of my responsibility to experiment with many of the web tools that are available for teachers. I believe I need to play with the tools to know what will be useful in different…

These resources include materials (CDs, DVDs, Websites) provided by…

Pretty much everyone has started blogging. Many became so caught up in the reading that they forgot about posting their own reactions.

It is the weekend and I thought I would play around with my blog, much better then cleaning the house, or buying groceries. I know my blog needs a major overhaul, I am not pleased with the look, after a year it seems dark and cramped. But I still have not settled on a look or feel. Today I added SNAP preview to my blog.

Passing on a request from Dangerously Irrelevant for all education bloggers to… complete the short and completely unscientific, but hopefully interesting, education blogoshpere survey; forward the URL of said survey to all other known education bloggers to ensure decent representation of the education blogosphere; and publicize said survey URL on their own blogs to foster greater participation in this most noble endeavor.
