NECC Session Tuesday, 2:00 PM
Welcome to NECC 2009 and my session on blogging best practices for teachers. This blog entry enhances the “bring your own laptop experience” by linking to all of the resources used in my session. While some in the blogosphere may already considering blogging dead or on its way out, I think it is still a viable, dynamic medium that has yet to be fully explored in the world of education. While I believe there are virtues towards having students blog, my session today focuses on teacher blogging. I firmly believe that teachers need to understand blogging by becoming active participants before blogging can become a successful medium for students as part of school. So, for today, that’s where we start.

[...] I led a session on teacher blogging best practices, clearly something in the camp of “Web 2.0.” Roughly half of my attendees were already blogging educators. The other half, as I polled, were “considering blogging” or “getting started.” I told them blogging isn’t for everyone. It takes determination and a comfort with writing to make your blog a successful blog. But I also told them that to understand the power of blogging that you have to be a participant, either through active commenting, blogging, or both. [...]
