My Intermediate Composition course management page has had a rebirth. I have a few students who have already opted to create blogs and write their weekly writing prompts on the web for all to read. I am so excited about this, as I just spent the last half hour reading their posts and making comments. Prior to that, I passed my time reading the blogs of my peers, getting updated on their literacy practices and technology integration. It is amazing the wealth of information available on the internet, and it’s imperative that students understand how to read that information critically and then add to it with their own expertise and experience.
The world may be getting smaller as we communicate more closely with people we may never meet in person. I will use the CHS Int. Comp. course page primarily as a management page. It will contain links to and descriptions of writing assignments and also a blogroll of my students’ blogs.
