I watched the Networked Student on youtube a few minutes ago. I had seen it twice before but I am really eager to create 21st century student learning in my classroom. They are not the hold up! I am. I have the interest, it is mainly finding the time to figure out how to connect the kids and then implement it in my classroom. One of my main concerns is monitoring their progress. Where do I find the time to check their blogs, wikis etc.? I can see where their learning could really take off when they take ownership of their learning and I am the facilitator. I guess I just need to take that giant leap of faith!

Time is a major factor; I think we will get better at managing our blogs and wikis. Several of the blogs that I frequent seem almost led by students. They take so much pride in being heard.

One of the ways to monitor blogs easily, is to create an RSS feed for each of their blogs using Feedburner and then also create a Feed aggregator, such as Netvibes.com to monitor their feeds. We will be learning how do to some of this on Monday.
