Ok, so now that I have my class blog up and running, my students are working together in Google docs, Gmail and groups, and they have all created meaningful Voki’s I seem to have neglected my professional blog.  I am spending every moment working WITH my students to mold and shape our Power unit.  During this collaborative time I have forgotten to sit back and think, “So, what does this all mean?”  Read some of the comments that have been said in my classroom over the past two weeks:

“That makes so much more sense” – commenting on subscribing to RSS feeds

“What happens if we aren’t allowed to learn this way next year?”

“I need to do it this way because that is how I learn best.”

“”Finally!”

“I feel more comfortable speaking to the world through a blog than in front of the class.  Is that ok?”

And finally, a parent comes to me at conferences and tells me how her 13 year old son and his friend were having a sleep over.  It was 2 in the morning and she heard them on the computer.  Expecting to find them on an inappropriate site, she was dumbfounded to find that they were blogging on our class blog!

I was speechless!
