I seem to have the same problem losing posts. I keep on going back and reviewing activities to make sure I have followed procedure. It's almost a relief to hear others having issues. Thanks for listening:)

Useful ed Blog sites
Two blogger sites I found useful:
http://www.21classes.com/ virtual classroom and BlogPortal.Instant use, hosted, free
http://www.freetech4teachers.com/ A review of free technology for teachers….Technology integration.
Both these sites are useful for Technolgy/Computer teachers. They list resources and share ideas and I would say very useful for classroom instruction.

My reaction to Henry Jenkin's Why Academics should blog
I found the process of creating a blog relatively easy. You directions were concise and accurate. Thank you!
In response to the article “Why Academics Should Blog” I found the rational for academic use logical and can see endless possibilities navigating and using “The Blogosphere”......particularly in actively participating in current debates regarding world events. It also occurs to me that running a student blog allows the students to check in daily, enabling them to buy into the system and help create this great “information circulation”. To me this encourages “higher order thinking” and creative problem solving skills so necessary for us to be successful in the 21st century. What the author says about the need for commitment and setting deadlines and developing strategies for generating content for our blogs is very good advice. Being proactive in this learning process seems the right way to go, both for students as well as us. The Blogosphere exposes us to a myriad of different opinions and ideas and would seem to accelerate the users in-depth understanding of whatever is being blogged. Again the possibilities are endless.
