Cross School Seminars

Not everyone is in favor of allowing students free access to the Internet during school time. What problems does Internet access pose and how can schools work to overcome these problems?

This blog serves as a place to interact around various prompts related to information and communication technology (ICT). To add your thoughts, click the Comments link above this post (entry) and type. Be sure to add your name at the end of your comments.

Please briefly describe your personal connections with technology - successes, challenges, or concerns - and your expectations for this seminar.

Welcome to blogging for the Cross-School Seminar. This blog is a place for all of us to post some thoughts and reactions while we learn about one of the most important new sources of information available online. While blogs are most often public journals with a single author, ours will demonstrate how a blog might be used with a group of learners to share information.

For a great site on blogging for the classroom visit Educational Blogging 101 - a wiki (we'll get to that, too) about blogging in school. Lots of very good links there. Note especially The Daily D on the link to Class blogs.


To keep this one organized for the entire class, I'll be posting a prompt before each session to which you will reply or "comment." It will be interesting to see how each of our voices comes out here even though we will be able to talk to one another in our sessions.
