<p><b>Full Session Description (as long as you would like):</b> Students of this digital age strongly believe in socializing with every one and this attitude is a positive feature for promoting language learning. It is the responsibility of language teachers to tap that aspect in students and make them use it for learning the language effectively. There are many social networking sites available in the web and the three sites, which the presenter would focus upon in this presentation, are Facebook, Twitter and Blog. She would discuss the ways of exploiting these sites for enhancing communication skills among learners. Further more, she would briefly talk about her on-going study, in which the tertiary level students are involved. </p>

This week <a href="http://edreach.us/2011/02/23/schoology-social-media-meets-the-classroom/">my post</a> on EdReach.us was about Schoology, a cool company I visited at the Illinois ICE conference. </em></p>
<p><em>Classroom 2.0 is a great network of well informed and innovative educators. The EdReach team would like to invite your voice on the network. We hope that it will be helpful and encouraging.</em> </p>

Lately, these moments seem to get lost under the sea of politics, budgets, and policy. Education news is also in a state of disarray. Go to most news sites and look for the education section- it’s likely you won’t find it. Still. Education isn’t getting the place it deserves in the mainstream media outlets.</span><br/><span> </span><br/><span>There are amazing new tools being used in the classroom every day- gadgets, Web tools, innovative pedagogy. There are companies that are leading the charge with innovative Web tools for teachers. There are devices that are transforming the way teachers teach, and learners learn. There are teachers that do amazing things with students every day.</span> <span>Every day.</span> <br/><br/><span>EdReach is made up of- not one person- but a network of educators from all over the United States- field reporters- some hosting podcasts in Connecticut, some contributing from San Diego, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan- from all over the country. And it’s expanding.</span> <br/><br/><span>So, if you want to know what’s happening in innovative Education, if you want to know what innovative education looks like, if you want to see what education can be like for America’s students and students all over the world- keep following and listening to EdReach.us.</span><br/><br/><span>EdReach is here to tell those stories.</span></p> Thinking Blogstag:www.classroom20.com,2010-05-17:649749:Topic:4719182010-05-17T11:02:51.652ZDuncan Extonhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/DuncanExton

I am putting together a presentation for my school on why teachers should consider blogging. As part of my presentation, I wish to provide some examples of great classroom blogs. May I please get some links from teachers so that I can use your blogs as examples of what great sites, and why my peers should consider utilizing blogs? I am sure other teachers visiting this discussion would like to see your sites, as well. Thank you!

This has run successfully for a couple of years now. My new focus is to expand the Web2.0 environment by involving other classrooms in the same content and promoting commenting and communication. In order to do this I have created a separate blog:<br style="font-size: 1em; xg-p: static !important;"/><br style="font-size: 1em; xg-p: static !important;"/><a href="http://thinkersoftheworldunite.globalstudent.org.au/" style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-size: 1em; xg-p: static !important;">http://thinkersoftheworldunite.globalstudent.org.au/</a><br style="font-size: 1em; xg-p: static !important;"/><br style="font-size: 1em; xg-p: static !important;"/>It has only a couple of links so far and there are now two classrooms involved.

Hi. I am interested in connecting with other postsecondary level instructors who are using Web 2.0 apps, especially blogging, in their classrooms. Is there a specific tag or forum area for college instruction?

In preparation for the upcoming SY 2009-2010, I would like to find out which would you introduce first to to the teachers especially since most of them aren't pro-technology.

In preparation for the upcoming SY 2009-2010, I would like to find out which would you introduce first to to the teachers especially since most of them aren't pro-technology. All this time, each class webpage is submitted to the Webmaster (in MS Word format) and it gets posted in the school website on a monthly basis. That makes the page very static.<br />
<br />
We now decided that creating a dynamic class webpage will enhance parent-teacher communications through <b>blogging</b>. Something that the teachers themselves can update on a weekly basis at least. Most likely we will go with <a href="http://edublogs.org/" target="_blank">Edublogs</a>. But how about posting the class rules/policies, supplies, etc. - would a class webpage be more appropriate? Since budget is a concern, I thought that maybe using class <a href="http://teacher.scholastic.com/homepagebuilder/" target="_blank">webpage on Scholastic.com</a> since it is free. With that, the teachers can create a menubar on the page. Wondering if that too can be done on blogs?<br />
<br />
How would you go about this dilemma? I appreciate all your replies.
