I really enjoyed reading 10 Techniques to Get More Comments on Your Blog. I read it with more of a teacher-student connection than a me-to-the-world-out-there connection in mind. I think kids respond well to this kind of response request. Must be like a "seeing their name in lights" kind of fascination...suddenly they're somewhat important because their words have been posted for the rest of the class to see and read. How I wish there was more time for this in the everyday world of school...or that I could figure out how to fit it in better?? It's always a rush-rush-rush to get it all in. Does anyone out there have any solutions to fitting it all in when the class sizes are so large? (that's one of the techniques, by the way...asking a question to invite responders! We'll see if it works!)
Yahoo!!! My next thingie is the Wiki!!!
I agree with you about class sizes so large that there does not seem to be enough hours in the day to complete everything. Students do like to blog and I cannot wait to see how they do with blogging/commenting during research.
ReplyDeleteI'm with K's Korner and you. The kids love seeing things that they've written "out there". I too am excited to see how this new technique of research goes with them.
