Senior religion students will contribute their experiences to a class blog.... reflecting on acts of kindness, learning something new, and going to a new place... as inspired by the Joan of Arcadia television show. Students will also be required to comment on a minimum number of other student entries. The teacher experimented with the "gadgets" blogger has to add text and a photo to display instructions and set the tone.
Amazing: seniors totally engaged in the activity and on-task for the entire 90 min. period. wow!
What can go wrong:
Teacher must invite the students to be AUTHORS, not just readers, if they are to contribute posts to the blog.
Teacher needs to use louismail addresses for the students, by copy/pasting the addresses from the class page. Be sure to use commas to delimit, and to use student emails only, not parents.
Students must go to their louismail account to accept the invitation! If they don't know their password for LouisMail they are stuck.
Students may not "get" that they need to create a new account, since their LouisMail password does not get them into blogger.
