more about the Internet than they
actually do
Students think their Internet skills are
better than they actually are
Students believe most of what they find
on the Internet
Most of us worry about students
plagiarizing from the Internet, but don’t
know what to do about it
Students must be taught Information
Literacy skills
22. What is Web 2.0?
Web 2.0 is the transition of the Internet
from a place where we surf for information

33. Setting the Bar High
Find an exemplary class blog, direct your students to it,
and give them time to read over the post and comments.
http://kakos4english2006.blogspot.com/
http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/
Ask them for feedback—which comments are powerful
and why? Which ones are less captivating and why?
When does the blog get good and why?
Get a discussion going—why do we blog? How is it
different from turning in a piece of writing to your
teacher? Or having a large class discussion?
34. What We’ve Liked About the Blog
Quiet students are given a powerful voice.
Students grow more adept at reacting to each
other’s ideas.
Class is truly extended beyond the walls of the
classroom.
Students produce information on the web
instead of passively absorbing it.
Technology is integrated into every subject.
Students take their words seriously and begin to
understand what it means to be published.
Students just like it. A lot.
35. Establishing Expectations
Have your students create the class blog
expectations, or have your blog expectations
ready to go.
Print out or direct them to the AHS “Safe
Blogging Policy” as well.
Talk about blog safety; emphasize that the blogs
are linked directly to the school and need to
follow the class guidelines as well. Let them
know that administrators can and will read their
personal blogs.
36. Send in the Reinforcements…
Students need feedback, they get excited when
they see their work published. If possible
approve their comments instantly.
Try having a blog for homework that night for
immediate reinforcement of what they have just
learned.
Try to give them immediate positive feedback;
bring up their blogs the next day and commend
them on what they did well.
37. A BIG Suggestion
Use the blog to replace something that
you’re already doing; don’t use it to add.
Never blog for blogging’s sake. Think
about how the blog can be used to
enhance an assignment (links to
audio/video clips, artwork, online texts,
other blogs, etc.).
38. Do a Little Exploring
Take a little time to check out some class blogs
that have worked pretty well.
