Withdrawal

Gosh...I am going through withdrawal with this blog. For weeks I had a purpose and I had a great deal of collegial feedback. It was great. I am using the things I learned to create a school site blog, which is also good, but which serves a different purpose for now. This blog has been a completely peer-related exercise which I had the time for during the summer, but probably won't as much during the school year. I have added a number of our blogs to my Google reader, and it is fun keeping up. I look forward to meeting many of you in person at CSLA in November. Cheers to a good beginning!!

Edublog vs. Blogger

After completing the 23 things using blogger, I find I am very comfortable with it. I like the versatility and ease of adding widgets, etc. The problem with blogger in a middle school setting, however, is the accessibility of the "next blog". So, I think I am going to set up my school blog on edublogs. I have just started experimenting with it, so I am sure I will become very comfortable with it at some point. There are so many presentations to choose from!
