I teach seventh grade English and history in the San Ramon Valley of the East Bay in northern California. My students and I are embarking on a weblog journey. I have gone through Edublogs Campus to set up 60 student blogs. We start blogging on Friday, January 30!

I have two over-arching purposes so far for our blogs: 1) e-portfolios for their writing and reading; 2) a place for each student to become an expert on a personally relevant topic, to post their discoveries and thinking about their topic, and to establish a network around their topic.

I want to open up the blogs to other middle school classrooms around the world, but right now I have my security settings set as logged in users only. When I feel more comfortable, I'll loosen the reins a bit...

I'd love to know what other middle school teachers are doing with blogs.

Hi I'm Anita Hutton a Technology Coordinator from a high school in Newark, New Jersey. I am new to social networking, having just recently created my first Facebook page. I'm excited about all the resources I've already stumbled on just trying to figure out how this site works! I'll be up all night jumping from one link to another. (I've already signed up at three sites I've linked to!) I hope to create a social network for the teachers in my building and in our satellite site in order to encourage more communication and collaboration. It's great to be here and I look forward to the possibilities.

Dear Steve,

Dear Steve Hi! and thank you for your regular updates. Am trying to log in as early as possible. I think I need to fulfill some technicalities. I have written some matter on my page. However, have got no comments from anyone as yet.Is it not accessible for others? Also is it safe and okay to attach my blogsite on my page? Thanks and Goodbye.

Hi! You can't log in until about an hour before the event, which is still 7+ hours away! :)

I'm not sure what the blogsite attaching question means...

Steve

Hi all.
Paul Thebert, High school, social studies, transplant from MI to MD - very happy!
My county uses Google mail, and it comes with the ability to make pages - so I have my students continue classroom debates, and collaborate online.... I just wish everyone had access.
