Weblogs - Get Started!

The title says it all.  You just have to jump in and start blogging.   Of course this is after the vail of mystery has been lifted.  Start small, but start.  I liked the idea of posting a question and asking the student to make a certain number of responses.  As a foreign language teacher this is a great way to have the students exposed and use the language outside of the class room.  This is also an excellent assessment, the quality of the writing in Spanish.   A quick note to Foreign language teachers Destino España is a great site for culture.  Post a question, have them watch and answer in the target language.

As always safety is number one.   I am always just a little worried when I send the students off into cyberspace.  We need to include the parents and Bud Hunt's letter to parents is a good model to follow.
So just take the plunge and start blogging.
