I have been thinking of ways that I could incorporate blogging into my job. I am the school based technology specialist at a high school. I have student tech aids. Lately this student tech crew has been slacking off and not staying on task. They have been rude to teachers and breaking the acceptable use policy when not under direct supervision. Then the idea came to me.
After last Thursday night's stimulating discussion of blogging, I have come up with the idea to have my student tech aids, do a daily blog of what they did in class. They can report to me, who they helped, what they did, what problems they solved etc. They can also interact with the assistants in other class periods by reading what they have done and commenting on their blogs. I think the introduction of this assignment has come at the perfect time for my program.

Starlyn, I think that's a brilliant idea. It holds the kids accountable, but does it in a way that will be interesting to them and feel less like you're checking up on them. It can also be valuable for them to share the things they have done and learn from one another. What an original and practical use for a blog!
