Presentation Title
“Blog if You Love Learning: An Introduction to Weblogs in Education (Basic)”

Powerful teaching and learning tools for both students and teachers, blogs can be used for student reflection, class webpages, professional development, and much more. This session briefly introduces participants to the read/write web, and to weblogs, or blogs, specifically. A live demonstration of WordPress will illustrate that… “If you can email, you can blog.” This will be supported by an overview of best practices and inspirational examples of actual student and teacher weblogs. These will include individual student reflections and learning logs, team blogs used for group work, teacher blogs, class blogs, blogs used for professional development, and blogs used to reach out to parents and the community. The session will leave participants inspired to take their next steps with educational blogging, whatever their level”¦ just beginning their own blogging journey, ready for their students to join them, ready to implement new best practices, or ready to innovate and lead the way.

    Thank you so much for this wonderful presentation. I am new (I thought) to blogging and web tools. AFter your presentation, I realized I know more than I thought. It was clear, easy to follow, and intriguing.

    Well rounded presentation that makes the word “comment” mean more than just a response, but a way to get kids involving in the learning process. I hope in the future to be able to work with the wiki/blogging relationship and have my students in some computer science classes use the Read/Write web, not just the Read web. After listening to your discussion and presentation of materials/links, I realized that the world of blogging needs to be students that understand the concept or reality of the information they provide.

    Is it too late to view this–http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=37. I have attempted to open the site several times and nothing happens. I have QuickTime installed on the computer

  9. SEO

    My main concern is that you can’t guarantee every page of your website will be included in the SERPs. Considering I’m constantly adding new products to my company’s website, I need to be sure that customers can find them as soon as possible.http://www.seoptimizerz.com
