Slowly I Turn; Step by Step . . .

Are you Thinking About Teaching Blogging to Your Students?
"Though we often refer to today's youth as 'digital natives', I'm learning that they are comfortable in some areas, but need hand-holding to get going in others." "They need information/procedures 'chunked up' so as to avoid an overwhelmed feeling." I think that's true for all of us (not just students) in this uncharted territory (for me) of blogging.

I agree that a huge obstacle may be getting administrative buy-in since I'm pretty sure "blogging" is not embedded in the PGCPS curriculum. The biggest obstacle, however, is probably going to be being brave enough to try it.
