  • the students would not respond well to a teacher who enters the class blogosphere only to assign work or to evaluate their writing.
    • Elysio Soares
       
      Teachers who start using blogs sometimes play the old-fashioned role. It's great when they become aware of the importance of being there as one participant. Thus, teachers are more likely to be accepted and treated as a valuable source rather than the one who decides what has to be done and how good a piece of work is.

TCRecord: Engaging Parents Beyond the Parent Conference by Using a Shared "Parent Journal" - 0 views

  •  
    This article details the use of an assessment tool entitled, the parent journal.

I would then respond to each of the journals, creating a circle of communication. Over the four years the parent journal has been in place, parents have been much more involved with their child's education and subsequently almost all of the students' academic performances dramatically increased.

    Ruth Li "presents an innovative approach to the design and integration of collaborative writing projects using the Google Apps for Education online platform (OWI 4). The setting is a traditional, face-to-face high school English classroom in which students write in class simultaneously, each on separate devices, on shared Google Docs. In particular, I offer specific strategies for teaching students to write collaboratively in a variety of creative genres, including plays, poems, narrative essays, and speeches" (Explain broadly..., ¶1).
