    I like the idea that you have access to all of your revisions. Too often students revised something and it is not really better. They might want to go back to the original one but they do not have it saved. This way they can go back and see the progress they have made. It is also an easy way for others to help with editing.

    This site provides a presentation that was used to give an overview of implementing ePals in the classroom. I noticed that Newark Schools 4th grade test scores showed reading and writing improvement through twice weekly use of email letter writing with fellow classmates and a peer classroom in Italy.

    I think blogging is the new persuasive essay - my thesis, finally. Truth is, I love writing essays. There's something satisfying about rendering the chaos of thoughts into an elegant form. But I love blogging more. It feels like playing.

    What Empathic Education Is: Reflection and Immersion Empathic Education is a system of education where empathy, the "walking in the shoes of others, " is taught through reflection and immersion. In Empathic Education, students read about empathy, they write about empathy, and they actually delve into the world of others and experience the joy and pain of people who are "not exactly like me."

    This article shows how one primary teacher (year 2) used twitter to give his students a voice. He felt it was successful especially with those students who did not feel confident about their writing or perhaps did not like to write.

    I really liked the last comment by the writer. His kids are the same age as mine and I am thankful that mine were older before they had access to Facebook. But just the same we as educators need to know the good and the bad so we can help our students and their parents become better cyber citizens

  • this post explains how the whole class was involved in a communicative experience with another class.
  • My students will talk into the computer as they sit in front of the web cam, and they will be able to view the other class on the projector.
  • 24-32 students,
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • do a lot of the organizing before
  •   I had my students write down 6-8 questions they could ask the students in the other class
  • encouraged them to ask questions to a specific student by using their name.
  • The key to this experience is working with the same group of kids, and getting to know them before the initial Skype session if possible, or meeting through Skype on a regular basis with a specific topic to discuss so a relationship can develop.

    This makes sense! Kids that have Facebook write more on a daily basis than they ever have before. It may not be in the correct form because they use shortened versions of words, but at least they are using their minds to form sentences! Kids meet new friends along the way and add them to their network. That's not to say they should be "aware" of who are real friends and who shouldn't be their friends. This article shows that kids have more confidence than they used to! Great article!
