Have you seen how WPS teachers are using blogs?

Mrs. Higgins and Mrs. Carmicheal are working together on this great project from Mrs. Carmichael's class. http://blogs.usd259.org/mhiggins

Mr. Ehret is using blogging with his students so they can express their views on various issues. http://blogs.usd259.org/jehret/

Mrs. Buranday is using blogging with her math students, sending them to different websites and then having them leave their opinions on those sites. http://blogs.usd259.org/buranday/

Mr. Reed at East is using blogging to gain perspective on his students' views about social studies in our world. http://blogs.usd259.org/areed/

Mrs. Bass is a WPS teacher that taught in Japan and is using blogging to communicate with East high students her experiences there. http://blogs.usd259.org/lbass/

Mrs. Ogborn is using blogging to have her students reflect on class readings and assignments, as well as get assignments started. http://blogs.usd259.org/sogborn/

Loved Mrs. Higgins idea of blogging with students in Italy as Ted Hadley enjoyed his trip abroad.

I visited Mrs. Ogden's site for her Senior English class and was very impressed with the complexity of the issue. I especially enjoyed the documents that were embedded and readily available for students and parents.

I loved the pics and captions of this teacher's trip to Japan.

I loved the way the classes used the teddy bear to encourage blogging across the ocean!

I loved the blog about the Teddy Bear what a great way for students to learn about different places. I did an activity like this once, but we sent them in the mail so had to wait a long time to get the information back, it would be so great to get it so quickly.

A lot of great ideas, but not anything that was in the format I wanted to use :(
