Hey, Hey, Hey - This is the NEW Way!!!

This is the first post of the new JWJ Way faculty blog site. Hopefully we will all become familiar with blogging and many of you will become intrigued and begin using blogs with your classes and students, too.

I will be hosting mini-sessions, maybe during Lunch and Learn.

Blogging is a very good way of using a less formal way of using technology to communicate with your students and their parents. There are ways for you to post a comment, a reflection, a poem, a journal prompt, etc. and then invite the students to post a comment. Don't worry, there are ways for you, as the moderator, to pre-read all of the comments before you allow them to be posted for others to view.

For those dare devil types that may want to jump right in you might want to go to http://www.blogger.com You will have to create a Google account but that is really easy. As always, if you need help, just let me know.
