Matt's Blog

Well, my students are blogging. And I have to say I'm pretty excited about it. The kids seem to be enjoying it. I think they understand that as participants in a pilot program, the pressure is on them to blog responsibly. I'm sure we'll have to have the occasional discussion about what's appropriate for a classroom blog and what's more appropriate for a personal blog. They administration is aware of what we're doing, and a little concerned, I think. I hope their concern will lead them to follow the student's discussion and see that this is a pretty cool thing.

I have more to say about why I'm doing this and what I hope the kids will get out of it, but I'll do that another time. We're using blogmeister, a blog site designed to give teachers a bit more control (ultimate control really) over what gets published. You can check out our blogs at:
