- What is a blog? An ongoing communicaiton online. Is it like Instant Mailing? An electronic newsletter? A webpage keeps changing (with a cringe)... how is it different from Twitter?
- What is the read/write web? Would it be like Google Docs - you can communicate and change the document. But everybody else can't change it? What about Facebook?
- What might these technologies mean for you and your students? Better communication... with parents... projects and homework... they can add to or comment on assignments at home.

Blog If You Love Learning at CLMS 2009!
I'm asking participants these three familiar questions...
1. What is a blog?
An online journal, a place to put your stuff so other people can see, a networking tool for getting information collaborating and sharing, a place to express your opinion, a place to report news.
2. What is the read/write web (or two-way web or web 2.0)?
Wikis are an example (so are blogs), it's interactive, a discussion forum? blackboard? Google Docs? But also some question about what this means...
3. What might these technologies mean for you and your students?
It's a way for them to collaborate, it makes it immediate interesting and relevant, also blurs the lines of what old fashioned folks think of plaigerism, it opens the door to a lot of students who might not share in a large group discussion, can be a powerful way to get feedback - or answers to specific questions, good for organizing...

Demo Post for CLHS
I'm here with two participants asking these three familiar questions:
- What is a blog? It's like a digital journal with regular entries... usually on specific topic. You can include media, stills, links, etc. And an infinite number of people can read.
- What is the read/write web? A person can write something, post it on the web, and everyone can read it.
- What might these technologies mean for you and your students? Opportunities to write and share with others - and you have to know what you're writing about to explain it to others. For research, blogs make opinions around the world available.
