But what you describe is also an illustration of why schools are reluctant to allow students access to some of the web 2.0 tools--it's less risky to take the approach of "when in doubt, throw it out" instead of "let's give it the benefit of the doubt and try it out."debbruxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09162349153907020073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7185995082771203848.post-47980211954107742092010-05-27T21:15:31.745-05:002010-05-27T21:15:31.745-05:00Blogging is merely a new version of communication....Blogging is merely a new version of communication. Yes, students can use foul language, but is this a technology problem or a behavior problem? they type foul language because they speak that way as well. Nice thing is that you have proof in a chat log.<br /><br />ZDr. Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420546861775303616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7185995082771203848.post-57216581525558347832010-05-27T20:00:55.194-05:002010-05-27T20:00:55.194-05:00Our district runs a very tight ship as far as acce...Our district runs a very tight ship as far as access to Web 2.0 tools goes. We are very slowly opening some sites, with caution. I think that there are many positive things going on behind the scenes to help regulate what goes on--to make school districts feel safer in letting students open up to the world (and vice versa).

Requiring it for school opens the school up for liability, I would think. I will definitely have a plan before I introduce it into my class, I will definitely involve administration into a discussion as I plan.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178644960972464421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7185995082771203848.post-39002491643163647932010-05-27T12:11:47.722-05:002010-05-27T12:11:47.722-05:00Good questions and points raised that other teache...Good questions and points raised that other teachers would likely want the answers to. We are starting to explore blogging today in my classes and I spent about 15 minutes discussing proper use of the blogspace. One student did raise the question of "what happens when someone decides to start in on you?" It was a good discussion, but a bit empty on the side of answers. Still, a discussion at least brings it into the open.Bill Lammershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209576881139903984noreply@blogger.com
