Updates!?
October 16, 2007
Just to let everyone know what has been going on with my groups: I began having problems with time in T7, so I decided to lighten up on the blog project with my groups. I will resume activities this week with an activity related to the writing assignment they will be doing.
However, I have began writing activities for what I think will we do in IT1 next semester. Remember the post about my students´ brainstorming clusters for blog activities? Well I have come up with some general categories for the activities and have been organizing them into groups. I will be posting them later this week and hopefully, you all will be able to help me to expand and start creating activities for these topics.
I will keep you posted!

Today was my students’ second visit to the computer lab so they could work on their blogs. We had some housekeeping to do, like adding their partners as administrators so they can each post under a different username and changing some options in their blogs in order to allow all posts to be uploaded without their having to allow each and every one. One of my students did not agree to the latter, she wants to be in control of everything that gets posted on her blog…
Anyhow, after all of that stuff was done I had them go to www.43things.com and register their blogs there, but not everyone managed to because some of the computers were too slow, so I asked them to play around the site at home and finish it for homework. I was surprised to see that some students had already accessed their blogs, posted some stuff, and visited their peers’ blogs too.
How are you guys doing with your groups? Looking forward to hearing about your experiences.

I have just added pages to our blog (the menu to the right) for all our classes. Feel free to edit the pages. It is your space to let us know what you are doing. When you have finally created your class or student blogs, put the links there. Then we all can see your students´work. If you have any questions, let me know!
