TeachPaperless: Tales of a Third Grade Blogger (or, The Year Social Tech Broke) - 0 views

  • Turns out their teachers (same ones I wrote this letter to) are crazy about the idea of their students blogging. And so, they've given my boys permission to do their weekly home/school connections via their blogs.

TeachPaperless: Paperless High School Newspapers! - 0 views

  • Our kids here at school have just gone to an online edition. And immediately, the buzz around here has been about the RSS feed, subscriptions beyond the immediate school community, and the future of editorial and opinion blogs.

TeachPaperless: What to Do When Students Abuse Social Technology - 0 views

  • The parents need to understand that social technology is not going away. And they need to understand that it is in their own best interest that their kids understand both how to use it and how to be responsible digital citizens.
  •  
    Sometimes people worry that social media increases our ability to bully one another. In this website, the author seems to advocate responsible use and the teaching of proper social accountability as a remedy for this possibility, rather than an attempt to keep students away from online blogging and similar things.

      The claim implied here is that the new Web 2.0 technology like social media, social bookmarking, blogs, and the like are not going to go away. Rather, they are going to become the paradigm for social interaction at a distance. How may the development of such technology and its use in classes encourage greater interest among students in what is taught? How can such technology make it easier for students to complete coursework?
