Paige Lahaise replied to Paige Lahaise's discussion Need Advice"I wanted post an update...
I set up Wordpress MU. Each of my 155 students has their own blog. The stuff I'm seeing is amazing. The are commenting and blogging. It's awesome!"
Paige Lahaise replied to Paige Lahaise's discussion Need Advice"Now I'm mad at myself because I went through all this pain to set-up everything with Wordpress on my server! LOL. I don't know why it didn't occur to me.
I actually think I will talk with the students in September and offer the Ning…"
Donelle replied to Paige Lahaise's discussion Need Advice"Ning has forums, blogs, personal pages, and groups. The blogging feature in a ning is simple enough for them to use and allows for comments. Seems like that would be a great solution."
Paige Lahaise replied to Paige Lahaise's discussion Need Advice"It actually just hit me that the Ning platform contains blogs. I never really thought of our personal pages as blogs, but that's what they are."
Kathryn Blades replied to Paige Lahaise's discussion Need Advice"Hello JR--
This is a great presentation and I am going to work with a group of teachers this week -- blogging, wikis and social bookmarking (Currituck, NC). May I also have permission to link to your presentation and use it this week?
email:…"
Donelle replied to Paige Lahaise's discussion Need Advice"Sounds great. Let's chat. My school just signed up for Wordpress MU. Would love to hear your ideas for structuring this. :)"
Paige Lahaise replied to Paige Lahaise's discussion Need Advice"More good points! I missed the part about threaded discussions. I think that is the way to go really. Again, what I want is for them to experience feedback from someone besides me. I love commenting on blogs and know it feels wonderful when I get a…"
"Another reminder, be sure you have 'rules', expectations, and parent and admin permissions. Older kids areb so blaise about social networking you can have chatting, uploading, downloading, innappropriate comments etc."
"Paige, Here is another suggestion---start with a few kids rather than trying to manage dozens. I offered the blog up to my 'writers' and eventually everybody came on board. I have mixed feelings, after three years, about blogging with K-6…"
"I agree, Andrew and it's why I suggested Moodle for a threaded discussion. Many blogs (like Blogger) don't allow for responding to a response so all responses just drift down the page. Even with CR 2.0, it sometmes hard for readers to…"
"Paige, Sounds like a good plan! Good Luck, N."
Paige Lahaise replied to Paige Lahaise's discussion Need Advice"Hi Donelle,
I am lucky in that my "kids" are 11th & 12th grade (16-18 y.o.). I am not sure I would want to venture down this path if they were younger. LOL.
My email is paj4614 at gmail dot com. I'd love to chat about more."
Peter Lane replied to Paige Lahaise's discussion Need Advice"Feel free to use the rules I have about post commenting..."
Donelle replied to Paige Lahaise's discussion Need Advice"Hi Paige!
What grade level are you working with? That may make a difference as to whether you go with individual blogs or your own group one. I would highly recommend Edublogs. I am planning to do something similar to what you described. Just…"
Paige Lahaise replied to Paige Lahaise's discussion Need Advice"Absolutely. That's why I want to start them on this venture. I "think" that by either setting up a forum situation (the least desirable option), or getting the Wordpress MU running, they will be able to have that response. That is…"
