Sustained Blogging in the Classroom (Presentation)
http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=170 Sustained Blogging in the Classroom Starting to use blogs in your classroom is one thing, actually embedding them into how you teach and sustaining them as a learning tool over time is something completely different. In the past 3 years, Jeff has helped numerous teachers set up blogs with their students. Some have continued to use blogs as a learning tool, others have given up not able to sustain blogging in their classroom. In this presentation we’ll look at some ways that you can successfully embed blogs into your daily routine and look at examples from teachers around the world who have made blogging part of just what they do in the classroom. |

Learning by blogging
http://tinyurl.com/6drffj Learning by blogging Many students learn best working together on structured, self-directed projects. European researchers have created software that links student blogs and other social software tools into a virtual collaborative learning environment. The researchers of iCAMP (Intercultural learning campus), a three-year project funded by the European Union, wanted to create software tools that would let university students and teachers work together on structured, self-directed learning projects no matter where they were or what kind of social networking systems they were using. |

Defending my blogging assignment
http://edtechvision.org/?p=339 Defending my blogging assignment Letter to parent "This fall, I had one parent who was concerned about allowing her Freshman daughter to post online and participate in the blogging activity. The signed permission slip came back with lots of questions and several email communications questioned the value of the project (I think she thought it was going to be more like a journal). Here is a copy of my response:" |

Rubrics for the assessment of Blogs
http://www.techlearning.com/blog/2007/05/teacher_20_the_evidence.php Rubrics for the assessment of Blogs "We were talking the other day after looking at what makes a good blogger and the question came up about how to assess our blogs. So after much thought, discussion and some arguments we made three assessment rubrics. The students are now looking at other blogs as well as their own and will try to evaluate where they need some work." |

Blogs Are Not the Enemy
http://www.techlearning.com/showArticle.php?articleID=196604374 There is a problem with blogs in the classroom—a problem that has many educators looking at blogging and not understanding why one would want to blog, how it benefits students, or how it engages them in the learning process.< If we look at blogs as nothing more than electronic journals—replacing written journals—than I can understand why educators do not "get" how blogs work. Blogs as journals do not engage students any more in the learning process than a regular journal would. The problem with blogs: We do not understand them. Jeff Utecht |

The seven-year-old bloggers
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3804773.stm The seven-year-old bloggers Children as young as seven in one British school are using weblogs as part of their normal routine, and are doing better than non-webloggers as a result, their teacher says Children at Hangleton Junior School in Hove, Sussex, have been using weblogs in their spare time to learn more about things that interest them, but as a result their performance in class has improved. The school's weblogs project has been so successful that it was shortlisted for a New Statesman New Media Award, an annual event highlighting the best web development in the UK. |

Weblogs in education : video
http://www.weblogg-ed.com/weblogs_in_ed_video Weblogs in education : video A number of people have asked if the video that was shown at the Intel keynote is available online, so here are some links: Flash 6, Windows Media, and a smaller version of Quick Time. Here's the link to the original .mov file in case those others get taken down. Be advised it's a .mov file that requires the latest version of QuickTime (free) and is a whopping 27 meg To me at least, it's an amazing couple of minutes, and I really can't articulate how lucky I feel to have been the subject of all of this. But it gives an absolutely great overview of what Weblogs have meant at our school. |

Blog Sites : parental concerns
http://www.wiredsafety.org/internet101/blogs.html Blog Sites : parental concerns Blog Sites, Profile Sites, Diary Sites or Social-Networking Sites : parental concerns Everyone calls them a different name, but it? where kids are flocking (adults are too). They are a combination of a diary, a personal ad and a cyberdating Web site. I often call them a public diary on steroids. Recently, I have been receiving a large number of inquiries from schools, parents, regulators and the media about social-networking Web sites. |
