I can't wait to use blogger in my classroom! What a great way to engage students into thoughtful discussions. Thanks so much!
Thank you for such a wonderful session and such valuable information.
Thank you for the great information.
great ideas, took the edge off of the unknown. Thanks, "T" Glenn
I really want to use this and maybe have the students post from different points of view.
Wonderful job! I want you to help me back at school to get set up in class to use this with my students!
I like the idea of using a blog to have students respond to literature. This site seems to be user friendly.
As always, Jerry, such an informative, fun session! I will definitely use this with my students. Thanks so much!
Thanks for your help in setting up a blog. I am looking forward to using this with my students!
Thanks for the the great ideas. I look forward to trying them out this year.
Thank you Jerry. You're the best.
Pretty cool! Thanks for the session! Seems like this could be a good way to have students respond to literature and comment on the responses of others from home or in class. I find that students in my bigger classes are reluctant to share verbally with the group. Perhaps this will alleviate some of the stresses they experience in that setting. We will see.
As always, a great job Jerry! Hope to do some blogging with my students this year.
Way to go Jerry! The DeBocks really learned all about the world of blogging from you! you are quite the tech savvy superhero!
Thanks for sharing your expertise on blogging...this is something I want to do this year...I left your session with so many ideas that I can use immediately!
This was very helpful. I'm glad I chose this session. I am already thinking of ways to use blogger this year, especially with research.
Lots of great ideas. Can't wait to start blogging with my class!
