Students 2.0. 100 Blog Topics I Hope YOU Write : [chrisbrogan.com] People often ask me how I come up with things to blog about, and I find the question strange, because my problem is the opposite. I have too much to blog about. Why? Because there’s a whole fast revolution rolling through, and right now – today – is our time to make it all work for us.
If we’re going to show people how to use social media to drive meaningful conversations instead of being yet another marketing tool, we have to run out and educate at a break-neck pace, so we can bring more and more thought leaders into alignment with these big and not-so-big organizations who could use our help.

Blogging 101 motivates students. If you can't run your own blog, it may be time to go back to Grade 1. At Moose Jaw's Westmount Elementary School, an innovative new program is teaching six- and seven-year-olds how to blog. Experts say the program -- which has garnered international acclaim -- improves motivation as students realize their work can be seen throughout the world. In Kathy Cassidy's classroom, Blogging 101 starts as soon as students arrive in the fall. The children learn basic computer skills at the same time as lessons cover writing and basic arithmetic. Within a few months, the Grade 1 and 2 students begin learning how to create and post their own blogs.
"As soon as they start to learn their stuff can go on the web, they get very excited," Cassidy said. Once the students have mastered blogging, they are given personal pages on the class Web site and time to blog about three times a week. Cassidy said these skills seem daunting to many adults, but come easily to children well-versed in technology.

Why Web 2.0 is more than a buzzword. « Rhythm method | Main | Monday Bytes » Why Web 2.0 is more than a buzzword Many people hate the phrase "Web 2.0" even more than they hate what they believe it represents. No, that's not quite right... many people hate the phrase precisely because they think it represents nothing.
Or they're annoyed by the idea of a web version number. Or they think it's "elitist. " Or they're convinced it's so much marketing hype. That doesn't mean zillions of people haven't abused the term for everything from sounding tech-savvy to getting a piece of the hype-fueled-please-god-bring-back-the-bubble-and-I-promise-I-won't-piss-it-away-this-time VC pie. Part of the benefit of being "into" something is having an insider lexicon. It's not about elitism--it's about efficiency. Dinner conversations around my house often are about one of those two things--programming or horses--and most non-horse, non-developer folks might wonder if we're just making s*** up. First person to get all of them gets a surprise.
H. Edublogs. The Teacher. Teachers as Learners Part 27. The whole integrating technology discussion that many have been chronicling of late has been sticking in my craw for a couple of reasons. First, a couple of weeks ago I had a bad teacher day while I was doing some training, the kind that really gets me pessimistic about how difficult a road this is going to be. With this particular group, it was made clear that the only reason they were in attendance was that they were getting paid for the day, that any teacher who came in during the summer and wasn’t getting paid was ruining it for everyone else, that the technology wouldn’t work in their classrooms anyway, that they didn’t have time to practice what they were learning, that, well, fill in the blank.
It was one of those days, and they don’t occur very often, but it was one of those days when I walked out of the room thinking “Thank god my kids don’t go to this school.” Depressing, to say the least. I’m not saying this is necessarily their fault. ShareThis. Blog against warlick.

When I was much, much younger there was a terrible commercial on television advertising Shake and Bake, a product that busy mom’s can use to prepare chicken or pork in minutes. One particular version of this commerical highlighted how Shake and Bake could get your children involved in making dinner. It attempted to have a southern flaire as one of the girls bragged “And I helped!” In what must be one of the worst southern accents I’ve ever heard. That particular little actress certainly was no Shelby Foote.
Ever the optimist I would rather focus on the premise behind the commerical and not the mangling of my beloved “southern-eeze” The point being that Shake and Bake is so easy to use it can be utilized as a hook to motivate children to help out at dinner time, build responsibility, and increase self-esteem. Isn’t that something we attempt to do everyday in the classroom? Though I’m not a University of Texas fan……(Woof, Woof---GO DAWGS!)
Of course, the first thing I must do is “hook ‘em.” Popular Blogs. 7 Ways to Optimize Your Blog.
