I hope this is becoming a habit. First it was Western New York taking a really thoughtful approach to implementing blogging in their schools, and now it’s Kennesaw State University that’s running a week long blogging immersion for teachers in Georgia that should give them an incredible start toward bringing the tools to their students. I’ll be working with them today to talk about blogging as a professional practice/development sport. And I just really like they way they have approached this whole idea in terms of looking at blogs as learning tools. That’s probably in large part because one of the organizers of the event, Leonard Witt, is a long time blogger at PJNet.org. The key is that they have set up a year long support process for the teachers who are involved, extending the concept far past this first week. It’s great to see more and more models that districts and schools can begin to consider for their own staffs.
The best part is that I think I’m going to see Anne Davis today, who is doing her bit on blogging in the classroom tomorrow.
