Cool Cat Teacher Blog• A good teacher never makes excuses. A good
teacher always makes the best of a situation. A good teacher pursues excellence. I will be excellent as I learn from NECC.
The same teachers and technology administrators who learn from NECC virtually are probably also the same ones that teach incredible things on older technology. "Excuse" is not in our vocabulary. "Do it," is.

Podcasting…. Imagine…• World Language teachers creating audio files (MP3s) for
students to listen to…• Emailing the link to the students…• Archiving the audio files on their blogs…• Students in other schools listening & responding in
writing in the language…• Kids listening to language audio files on their own MP3
players…• Kids creating shows in Spanish…-http://weblogg-ed.com/2006/my-world-lanuages-teachers-

Educators Blogging

Why I Blog
• Recording my learning
• The power of reflection
• Sharing my learning
www.janinelim.com 30
Blogging as Learning1. Modeling: the teacher “puts his/her mind on display”2. Coaching: teachers observe students performance of a
task, offering feedback3. Scaffolding: helping a student complete a task slightly
more difficult than the student is capable of completing on his/her own.
4. Articulating: drawing students out dialogically, helping to convert tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge
5. Reflecting: debriefing, replaying and discussion after an activity
6. Exploring: students tackle new areas on their own-Christopher Sessums, http://elgg.net/csessums/weblog/10943.html

Student Blogs
Journals vs. Blogs
Gaggle.net BlogsEdublogs
www.janinelim.com 32
Student Blogs• Weblogs are a personal writing space. Easy, sharable,
automatically archived.• Weblogs are easily linked and cross-linked to form learning
communities. The school logs projects are examples. The school logs also enable a teacher to evaluate a student’s thinking, by reading explanations and assignments.
• Weblogs can become digital portfolios of students’ assignments and achievements.
• Weblogs are a novice’s web authoring tool.• Accumulated weblogs become a content management system.• Via digital storytelling, weblogs play a role in professional
development.

Students Caring About Work• “You took the blog down,” he said.
“You can’t do that.” “You have to put it back up,” he said.
• “Can’t we take our old posts with us?”• “It seems awfully quiet without our
other stuff.”• “I’m proud of my comments. Do I have
to leave them behind?”• “No one will know what who we are
and what we’ve done!”• “What about the old posts?”

Jim Stovall: The Ultimate Gift
www.janinelim.com 35
Benefits to Blogging• Motivation. Paper is worthless, it goes in the trash when
the year is over. Thinking of MySpace…kids are motivated to publish information
• Writing Skills. The audience has increased and kids are thinking more about what they’re writing and reflecting upon.
• Reading Skills. Writing begins with reading • Connective Learning.• Learning by Community Building.

Writing: Digital Storytelling

• Microsoft Photo Story 3
• Podcasts

Blogs vs. Wikis
Web logs are great vehicles for an interactive exchange of ideas between a handful of people, but blogs are not as effective when a large number of people want to collaborate, contribute, and easily find information on a given topic. That's when you need a wiki.
-Tim Stahmer
www.janinelim.com 38
What is a Wiki?
• A collaborative web tool for two or more people to work on a document
• Wiki-wiki" means "hurry quick" in Hawaiian.

Wikipedia
“According to the web traffic rankings site Alexa.com, Wikipedia ranks second in popularity among all reference sites, trailing only Yahoo and ahead of popular resources such as MapQuest and Encyclopedia Britannica Online. What's more, Wikipedia is the 37th most visited web site overall.” Jan. 25, 2006, eSchool News

Kids’ Safety

Questions Students Should Ask
• Can I share this with my parents or teacher?
• Would I want a college recruiter or job interviewer to see this?
• Could this allow someone to find me and put me in danger?
