Fewer Trends, More Practical Ideas

A friend of mine always notes when we as educators lapse into "national trend speak." In looking over my first post, I may have so lapsed....

Alright then, on to more sharing of ideas, tending toward the practical. Two posts caught my eye today, both from weblogg-ed, another of my favorite sources.

The first, http://www.weblogg-ed.com/2005/02/22#a3154 , quotes Barbara Ganley, writing herself today. Basically, it asks us to consider the relevance of blogging to teaching/learning. Interesting take.

The second, http://www.weblogg-ed.com/2004/05/05#a1777 , has a wonderful, practical list of writing tasks for teachers and students related to the blogging act.

Happy reading!
