One suggestion I could make for monitoring blogging is to make sure you and the other teacher are posting things too. Be visible on the web. In the classroom proximity helps control behavior, and same goes for the internet. Comment back on the students messages and you could even congratulate them on using appropriate etiquette on the internet. Good Luck!<br /><br />Jill MitschJill Mitschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17816977689356260820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866033725731591976.post-55574192328800090242012-09-30T20:01:07.548-07:002012-09-30T20:01:07.548-07:00I have not used Kidblog, but everyone seems to be ...I have not used Kidblog, but everyone seems to be mentioning it this go around.

That makes sense. We go to computer lab twice a week and have three laptops in our room. If I set up a schedule and have a deadline to have their posts completed by, they should be able to complete their assignment and I should be able to monitor it fairly easy. Thank you.<br /><br />Have you used KidBlog before? I have used it strictly with my class but not with another class as pen pals. When I was setting it up, I was trying to figure what the easiest way is to do this. I think I need to add the other class's KidBlog URL to the settings and allows them to read and make comments. Any help would be appreciated.<br /><br />Mrs. Daneen Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10080779904595568991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866033725731591976.post-25184590353392261932012-09-29T17:51:37.656-07:002012-09-29T17:51:37.656-07:00Daneen,

That in itself is challenging to find time to do. Refering to your question about how you feel you should handle the student assignments, I think just reflecting on how our master's program functions may help. So far, having posts on Wednesdays and Sundays has allowed me to build an internal schedule that works. Students also like to know what is expected of them, so I would suggest building a schedule similar to what we are using.<br />KellyKDMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863391200343714248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866033725731591976.post-11008368758379638982012-09-29T05:59:51.152-07:002012-09-29T05:59:51.152-07:00Daneen,

I tend to think that they enjoy this so much because we are giving them the opportunity to express themselves, and to create using their own unique individual skills. They may whine about doing the project at first, but ultimately they will enjoy a well-designed project-based assessment.<br /><br />You have certainly covered all of your bases with your GAME plan. Asking for collegial support is always a good idea, as it has led you to use a technological resource that you are comfortable with. Through additional conversations with other members of this course, you have been able to design authentic assessments, and are well on your way to completing your GAME plan.<br /><br />ScottScott Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376116438321196230noreply@blogger.com
