Recently, <a href="http://www.speedofcreativity.org/2007/07/06/what-do-you-do-online/">Wesley Fryer</a> forced me to realize that I am simply "digitizing school 1.0 (as he put it at NECC)". While I thought I was using my classroom blog (<a href="http://www.mrfowler.wordpress.com">www.mrfowler.wordpress.com</a>) in an innovative way, I am pretty much just having my classroom have a conversation with themselves electronically. While this does improve typing skills, it doesn't incorporate conversation with the outside world. For this reason I have a few questions:<br />
<br />
1. How do others incorporate blogs into the school day?<br />
2. What type of topics do you blog about?<br />
3. What strategies have been effective in bringing in genuine collaboration between students and professionals in the real world?<br />
<br />
I am very anxious to hear what others are doing!<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
