Richardson: ch. 2

"...writing stops; blogging continues."

This quote really stood out to me. I would love to share this with my fellow teachers. This chapter, particularly this quote, made me think of a paper and pencil response or homework assignment being 2 dimensional and a blog as a 3D, interactive learning tool. Getting teachers to use this tool with their kids would be a huge step in the 21st century. We continue to engage in professional discussions within our schools and districts about how to be 21st century teachers and speak in a language that will be meaningful to our clients...this is one big tool we should all be using in our schools. Our students are here and we need to catch up!

  1. We are going to watch a little video clip tomorrow about the circle. We read and write and after we post, the comments come back to us. That is the conversation!

  2. I love the idea of students's writing being accessible to the rest of the class. By doing this students begin to learn to write for an audience and have the benefit of discussing their ideas with others where some real learning can occur.
