Project Proposal
Using Blogging in the classroom: -Teachers can increase student participation by creating a blog for ongoing use throughout the year. All students will be able to respond not only to professor but to each other. Discussions can continue out of class and students can come to class prepared to dig deeper beyond initial responses. Gives students more responsibility and allows them to take discussion where they want. I have used several blogging sites for personal and educational use. I would consider myself rather proficient in this technology. Teachers will be able to setup and run a class blog that can be used for daily response, in-depth discussion, class polling, etc. These skills will allows teachers to increase student participation and engage more students in discussions and activities. Choosing a blogging site that is right for you and your class. Setting up an account on that site. Starting an individual blog to allow students to comment. Adding multiple blogs. Creating individual student blogs. Creating class homepages to communicate with students. Adjusting privacy options. Adding multimedia to your blog. Including RSS feeds in your blog. Setting up assignments and grading them through blogs A fully functional classroom blog capable of hosting class discussions, assignments,teacher/student responses, media presentations and more. A rubric can be used, possibly a checklist, to make sure teachers are capable of setting up the blog and running it. It can also be used to test how well the can operate the blog. A would want to survey teachers upon completion of training to see how well they understood everything, but I would also like to conduct a late survey to see how well it worked and what student response was like.

Your experience or proficiency with this technology What the colleagues will be able to do and why it is necessary for them to obtain these skills Beginner lesson: what skills will you address specifically to introduce teachers to this technology Intermediate lesson: what will they need to integrate this into their lessons Advanced lesson: what additional bells and whistles can they add to integrate this into their lessons Final product that can be created once someone has completed all 3 lessons Assessment ideas for this series of presentations Survey ideas for this series of presentations
