Welcome to my workshop @ ESL Pedagogy Action Enquiry Project.
Here’s a mind map of the session:
Dean Shareski recently posted about blogs that succeed, and listed five simple ways he’s discovered to help students and teachers blog successfully:
Blogging is mostly about reading
To make a friend you have to be a friend
It’s personal
Hyperlink
Get graphical
I’ve been struggling a bit lately with finding the impetus to write, and I think its because I’ve over planned the whole “story” too much.
I’ve also been doing lots and lots of reading but not responding in any way – just thinking “Yeah, I agree with that!” and moving on to the next post.
Maybe I need to explore graphical ways of communicating – try out some new applications so I can use them/show them in class as well.
I shared Dean’s suggestions with my class and they had a lively discussion about the ideas raised – we’ve all agreed to get down and serious about improving our blogging this term, just you wait and see if we don’t 🙂
