Date: Saturday, May 23 "Authenticity vs. editing student work: a peaceful middle ground for your class blog""
Do you look at other classroom and student blogs and wonder why their student entries all look so perfect? Do you have people telling you that it will dampen student enthusiasm if you have them edit their work? Do you worry about what parents and administrators will say about your students unedited work?
Would you just talk to someone about student blogging? Then come on in to this session where we will look at some approaches and choices you have for meeting these challenges. Join Alice Mercer (http://mizmercer.edublogs.org) from Reflections on Teaching for a fun and fast-paced session. Ms. Mercer has been blogging with elementary (9-12 year olds) students for the last three years, and brings the wisdom from her ever changing teaching practices and practical advice.
