USM - Room 109

A little snug, a bit chilly, but a decent room for working together....

Welcome!

Welcome to blogging for the Cross-School Seminar. This blog is a place for all of us to post some thoughts and reactions while we learn about one of the most important new sources of information available online. While blogs are most often public journals with a single author, ours will demonstrate how a blog might be used with a group of learners to share information.


For these 3 seminar sessions, each of you will create a blog of your learning, which I will link to from this page. We will all be able to read one another's blogs and to comment on each other's learning. If you find blogging to be a good way to track your discoveries and to share ideas, you may certainly continue to use your blog after we are done meeting.


For a great site on blogging for the classroom visit Educational Blogging 101 - a wiki (we'll get to that, too) about blogging in school. Lots of very good links there. Note especially The Daily D on the link to Class blogs.
