Step 5 Getting students in the dialogue.

If you are a teacher that will be leading student paticipation, you should follow these directions.

1. Hold a focus group or discussion about blogging to raise awareness around some of the issues related to blogging. Perhaps click on some of the sites that you think might be good prompts with the discussion.
ie. the PEW survey on teens as content producers, or one of the safety articles.
Preview at least one of the articles in Blogs in Education section below.

2. You can then allow students to explore some of the other links on this page (how long will depend on the time you have available and the time you spent the discussion. You decide which is the best approach)

3. Most important - have your students take the "student survey". If you would like to see results from a group of students (i.e students from your class).. create a unique code to give the students and have them enter it in the optional field on the survey. This will allow you to look at the results as a whole, and then see only your group of students.

If you would like a copy of the results from your group of students, send me an email (lucie (at) learningwithlucie.com ) and I'll send you a link to the results.

Thanks you so much for participating.
