A1: Blogging for everyone is a tremendous way to reflect on what you're learning. #DitchBook

MViTDiTeach Oct 13 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: It's all about reflection. Writing it down & knowing you are sharing w/ others forces you to really think about what you do #DitchBook

jmattmiller - Moderator Oct 13 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: For me as a teacher, it solidifies my thinking when I write about it. Then it energizes me when others can see it. #DitchBook

Ryan7Read Oct 13 @ 10:06 PM EDT

@TTmomTT @Bitmoji I'm hoping to do more with my Ss but we are #emojiclassroom users #DitchBook

TTmomTT - Moderator Oct 13 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: A platform to share their voice. Some Ss won't share vocally but have a lot to say. #DitchBook

MsLindseyELA Oct 13 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: so many! But number one is connecting wth others and sharing ideas. Great to clarify own ideas and be exposed to new ones #ditchbook

rachelmarker Oct 13 @ 10:06 PM EDT

@emosier3 Total FOMO when I saw that! Glad you guys got to connect! #Ditchbook

AmyB0286 Oct 13 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: Blogging can lead to self reflection, deepens and causes learning to be life lasting! Gives an audience beyond the T for Ss #Ditchbook

KarlyMoura - Moderator Oct 13 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1.b I modeled my blog after @jmattmiller's and blog to share resources, tips and ideas. #Ditchbook

emosier3 Oct 13 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: I feel like it gives everyone a voice. Even the shyest Ss may make the biggest impact with their writing. #DitchBook

jmattmiller - Moderator Oct 13 @ 10:06 PM EDT

This is so true! Blogs let many kids say what's in their heart in a voice they're comfortable with. #DitchBook https://t.co/PvllZraOFM

@wpmsad The best time to start a blog is now ... the act of writing will help you refine your focus unlike anything else. #DitchBook

@polonerd @KarlyMoura So true. The students have a "real purpose" to complete their work. It isn't just another assignment. #ditchbook

rachelmarker Oct 13 @ 10:08 PM EDT

@MsLindseyELA Agree w all your points. Esp true that it helps us clarify our own ideas. My thinking is clearer post-writing. #Ditchbook

Q2: An key part of a blog is comments/conversation. How important is engaging in dialogue around posts? #DitchBook

AmyB0286 Oct 13 @ 10:10 PM EDT

Has anyone ever utilized "comments4kids" in combo with blogging? #Ditchbook

rachelmarker Oct 13 @ 10:10 PM EDT

@rachelmarker @wpmsad You're welcome. You'll see that I just got around to blogging again this month. It's been crazy at school. #ditchbook.

rachelmarker Oct 13 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@TTmomTT Do your Ss get a lot of comments on their posts? What to do when that doesn't happen? #Ditchbook

GeimanELA Oct 13 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A3: #DitchBook the purpose of publishing is to show others your ideas so public blogs are the way to go. https://t.co/YhSWXljG7D

Q3: A consideration for student blogging is audience: private blogs vs. public blogs. What are your thoughts? #DitchBook

MViTDiTeach Oct 13 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@emosier3 Have to model. SS must do "glow" & "grow", needs to be more than "great post" #DitchBook

@emosier3 Absolutely. Teaching Ss through discussion boards on @Schoology is helping prep Ss for same scenario on college #DitchBook

@zonie71 If you have a blog and never use it, is it a blog? #ditchbook

MsLindseyELA Oct 13 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@emosier3 I wonder if Ss could try writing a question for readers at the end of blog posts to promote more thoughtful comments?

@GeimanELA Not sure in El. #ditchbook

rachelmarker Oct 13 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@emosier3 @polonerd I've done this re: regular commenting. Practiced on post-its in gallery walk. Then in GDocs. Ss need prctc. #Ditchbook

MissKrupp Oct 13 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A3: I think with younger ss, a private blog accessible by peers is enough. Older ss should consider public blogs. #ditchbook

KristiEdTech Oct 13 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A2 Dialog is essential. Why else do we blog? If we aren't engaging in conv then a blog merely becomes a journal. #DitchBook
