In the coming days and weeks, I'll be sharing some of the different sites and tools that you might use for a class blog, to better allow you to share documentation and the learning that is happening in the classroom, no matter what kind of setting you are in. The tools I will share are free and simple, and you can make your classroom blog as simple or as fancy as you please! We'll look at:
- Blog sites
- Video sites
- Embedding images and video
- Embedding documents
- Sharing Audio
- Sharing Links to websites
- Sharing Children's drawings and writing
- Web 2.0 Tools to add on
- Engaging Students on the blog
I'm looking forward to sharing this knowledge with you!
What questions do you have about creating, managing, or sharing a class blog?
I'm a pedagogista at a Reggio Emilia child care center. (That means I'm like a coach who helps teachers develop child-centered curriculum and do teacher research and lots of other things.)
ReplyDeleteI've been working to create a blog for our center, and we've encountered a lot of concern about privacy. Could you talk a little bit about how you've handled privacy concerns?
Hi Kendra,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment - YES, I will be touching upon privacy issues. I often get questions about this blog and privacy issues, but I have worked hard to not have children's faces on this blog. It is different for school and class blogs.
Being the pedagogista is a wonderful position to be in - you will be able to best understand how the blog can compliment the curriculum, the learning, and the community, because you oversee all of those things. Thanks so much for chiming in!
