RSS Aggregator and Blogs

It was nice to see the tools that are out there to use with this technology. It was also great to see the different ways blogs could be used. I have used blogs with 2 5th grade classrooms but would like to expand it next year. It is a great medium and the kids love it. I also liked the idea of having a staff blog. It would be an added tool for the teachers. I can't wait to get started.

I hadn't really considered a staff blog until it was discussed last night in class. This form of communication would save time when questions were asked by different staff members.

I really like the idea of a staff blog. I'm going to talk to my principal about having one. I really think it would a great way to save trees!

A staff blog is an excellent idea. I agree it is a great way to save trees. I also think it is a good way to get some techno phobic people to use the computer more. I have several teachers I'm thinking of...

I would like to talk with my principal about the possibility of creating a staff blog for next year. I feel it has good potential.

I think staff blogs would be great but I think that some kind of etiquette should be discussed before allowing an entire staff to discuss. I would be fearful of the discussions turning into complaints or negative comments that could pull down morale.
