Right now, they are responding to the same list of videos and blogs (although they do make different choices as to what they are reading/viewing). My goal is for students to be constantly having a conversation about psychology. Conversations are at the foundation of our learning. Conversations are about asking questions and explaining. Just this morning, I had a conversation with a banking friend of mine. I asked questions, she was explaining. I asked for clarification, she explained. She asked me questions, I gave my point of view. Students continue to read and listen passively. They need to understand the importance of having a conversation and I think blogging helps that....even if the conversation is only with themselves!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02742135010797621010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364473613723439770.post-62459625389274309382008-09-21T06:08:00.000-07:002008-09-21T06:08:00.000-07:00Dave, I'm very interested in how this progresses a...Dave, I'm very interested in how this progresses and evolves for your students and your classroom environment as a whole. I'm assuming their initial posts will be just to "dip their virtual toes", but will students be reading each other? Because you have two high schools, I would think that this could be an interesting bridge that educators in the district might think about for their practices. Afterall, they have similar courses, right? Thanks for your leadership!Brian C. Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519033110714562018noreply@blogger.com
