One of the ideas I’ve gotten is from Will Richardson’s excellent blog Weblogg-ed and the particular recent entry about Elementary School Publishing and Kids Teaching. I hope to push this idea with the principal and see if we can get the 4th grade team to take up the mantle and run with it for the school.

My advice to aspiring high school teachers is to see what the kids are doing in their local elementary schools. It invariably comes as a surprise -- and not necessarily a pleasant one as it dawns on them that their caefully prepared lesson plans need to be tossed in the garbage. It was ever thus.

With UNESCO we have implement several experiments where young people from several countries have create and share, both their working process and the final “art work” they made. Based on the experience we made wrote an “Educators Kit” with lesson plan and CD-Rom with open source software for audio, image, web editing. The book and the CD-Rom are available online: http://unesco.uiah.fi/ydc-book/ In the MobilED project we have also experimented with podcasts. Students inn South Africa have produced podcasts with call phones and are then available for other via their cell phones. Link: http://mobiled.uiah.fi Thank you for this example.

The former is our class blog full of news and insights ad from where you can link out to our other blogs and wikis via the blogroll. The Stories blog houses Windows Movie files made with Photo Story 3 of books that the children have authored handwritten before transferring them into Publisher, adding hand drawn pics, photocopying via a duplex photocopier to produce multiple copies, then scanning and cropping the images and processing them in Photo Story inclduing narration before I finally uploaded them into the blog. Check out Picnic Cookies in particular which was written by an eight year old, :). PS The children would love any comments... Hi David,

I'd call this a "best practice" wouldn't you? What a great way to put those little voices and their words out into a worldwide audience! I’d call this a “best practice” wouldn’t you?

As a teacher and a parent, I am always looking to find meaningful and engaging methods to entice my children to expand their learning beyond the classroom. Recently, I had my fourth grade daughter start a blog on a recent move our family experienced. My daughter began to express her emotions, and her thought process in text form. These ideas, especially the podcasts have peaked her interest. Thanks Pat Aroune Will -
