Public Sticky notes
Ms. L crafts the blog assignments with an eye toward training students to think
critically and to post informed, well-considered opinions. A common classroom
activity, for instance, is to have students read the blogged entries of others
and write persuasive reactions — one in agreement, another in disagreement — and
post these writings as comments to their classmates' blogs. Initially, the
students struggled with the task, but they eventually learned the goal was not
necessarily to find an idea with which they personally disagreed but to find
another side to an idea and write persuasively from that perspective.

English teacher Mr. P is reviewing a new batch of student wikis. In an effort to
help the students become better communicators, he never provides study guides
for tests, instead relying on students to construct their own study resources
using their team wikis.

Today's discussion about The Grapes of Wrath will be recorded and
posted in an audio file as a class podcast, as are all significant class
presentations and discussions. Students, parents, community members, and other
educators subscribe to his podcast programs. In fact, on the other side of town,
Mrs. B, the parent of one of Mr. P's students, is listening to a podcast
classroom conversation about a science fiction short story the students recently
read. She and other parents subscribe to the podcasts so they can more easily
engage their children in conversations about school.

All assignments in Ms. L's class are turned in via blogs because she finds that
their conversational nature encourages students to think and write in more depth
than traditional formal essays or short answer assignments. Another advantage of
receiving assignments in blog format is that both she and her students can
subscribe, which means all of the kids' blogs appear in her aggregator, and
students can reap the benefits of seeing each other's work.
