Today's Thought
Today we are on a "2 hour delay", and one of the first questions we get peppered with by students on days like this is "what are we doing today? While most teachers do a "wrap-up" at the end of each lesson that includes reminders about what "next class" will include, now whatever you had going on for that class has to change. Blogs would be a great way to quickl get out to your kids - "what were doing today, since the bell schedule & class time is very different & shorter". I know most middle & high school teachers can identify with the need to get out to kids "what were doing today" without having to verbally repeat it 49 times over the course of the day....

Even though I have the luxury of working with my students closely over a two year period, I am finding that the opportunity to interact through the blogging process is giving me an idea about where each ITSer is in their current thinking. It also could provide the means to allow students to respond to instructions or agendas for the day publically so that all students have the chance to view questions and answers. Assuming the students read the answers--- this prevents teachers from repeating answers to questions and still provide an atmosphere of individuality.
