To Blog or not to Blog...

media type="custom" key="1271481" Liz: I think it could have some very useful benefits, and it is becoming a big trend. Here is a website that is great for student and teacher blogging.

How can we give them a chance to communicate in the blog? Do we open up computer labs before school? 2. Who will be responsible for monitoring what is said on the blog? What do we do if inappropriate comments arise? 3. Will we have campus wide guidelines for blogging or will each teacher be responsible for creating his/her own?

In a world where I don't even know half of the "Digital speak," will we develop clear cut guidelines on how to appropriately communicate on the blog? Will those be the same for the school or will individual teachers be responsible for that?
