Here goes another round

As the second attempt at creating a new post, I believe that I have it right this time.  Attempting to master a new technology is both time consuming and exhilarating.  With this understanding in mind, I can imagine what students will feel like when presented with their first experience in the classroom.  I believe that starting small will help students get the hang of the "how to's" and "what for's" when it comes to blogging.  To that end, simple journaling such as a response to a prompt (like a quote) would allow students to build an understanding of not only how the process works but to interact collectively as a whole.  From there, students could expand on their experience to carry out inquiry-based learning projects, link to authors, or connect to another classroom on the web.  The possibilities are almost endless.
