I will try to be responsible for monitoring the blogs for our 3 Concepts sections (85ish students) since she will be responsible for Study Island. I think we're going to do an initial "Tell me everything you know about Geometry" topic and see how that goes. I am a blog and wiki virgin but I am also excited to see how it goes.","dateCreated":"1250012471","smartDate":"Aug 11, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"DLeopold","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/DLeopold","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"13523585","body":"I like the idea of tell me everything you know about Geometry. The only thing I think may not be so great with that is that almost all of the kids will say nothing or triangle. However, if you can get some kids into it then it would be a good ice breaker and a good way to determine what their previous knowledge is.","dateCreated":"1250012582","smartDate":"Aug 11, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"Howard314159","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Howard314159","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"13523673","body":"A concern with running one blog for all 3 sections that Debbie and I share is by the time the 85th student posts, there's nothing new left to say. So is it better to have a separate blog for each section? Do you have much experience with blogs or wikis,Patrick?","dateCreated":"1250013394","smartDate":"Aug 11, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"DLeopold","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/DLeopold","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"13523729","body":"Honestly this is the first time that I am running a blog in my life. I have personally never done this before. I would say however that you should have a separate blog for each section compared to each class. If you would do it for each class alone then you would get so much repeated material and it would not have as much value. If you do each section there might be more to read, but the kids will definitely get more out of it. Maybe we could find out if we could set up groups and only one class can access one period on the webpage. That is not a bad thing to look into.","dateCreated":"1250013888","smartDate":"Aug 11, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"Howard314159","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Howard314159","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"13524897","body":"Maybe we should require them to give us a certain number of sentenses in their response. It also can't be a post that is just rephrasing what has already been said. It must be something new\/something original. This would require them to read what has already been posted. Perhaps some might want to expand on what someone else has already said. The problem with not breaking it down by class is that it could get rather lengthy.","dateCreated":"1250020827","smartDate":"Aug 11, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"DBlaha","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/DBlaha","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"13524985","body":"I think the blogs are an awesome tool. These Concept kids love to call each other stupid and put down each other for making a mistake. So, perhaps this might get rid of some of that. Students who are afraid to speak up in class for fear of making a mistake might welcome this forum for "speaking".

\nTo introduce them - I think we should show a quick video on what a blog is for those that might not have any idea. We would then have to spell out the rules regarding its use and what is appropriate\/inappropriate material.","dateCreated":"1250021122","smartDate":"Aug 11, 2009","userCreated":{"username":"DBlaha","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/DBlaha","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
