Blogging on Blogging

If you are a bit nervous about posting to a blog, join MCCE and experiment posting on the MCCE blog, I have provided a few tutorials on Wordpress, the blogging application we are using:

Writing a Post (video tutorial)

Start Up Guide (easy to follow and good if you are interested in starting your own blog)

Full Collection of video guides on Wordpress, all pretty good

Educational Blogs:

Here is a small listing of the educational blogs I try to keep up with. I think everyone can find some good information from these:

TechChicks: Teachers sharing the technology they explore

TEDTalks: Wow! The brightest minds are here.

A History Teacher: a benefit for all teachers though

So, here is your chance to try out the new MCCE blog�post a comment on these links, run through some tutorials and then�(gasp) try your own post! When I first introduced my staff development team teachers (TILT) to blogging, no one was participating. After much prodding, I found out that my teachers were afraid of looking stupid, spelling words wrong, or not having anything valuable to say. After a little coaching, some �safe environment� practice, I now have at least 8 teachers with their own blogs, and the Montana Link Share Project, which started out in the �safe environment� as a practice project�but turned into something valuable.

Visit our blogs:

Morning Reflection

Posted by brooksphillips | in Learning (What I Learned) | Comments (0)

As I stated earlier, the biggest impact for me was that all of us know that project-based learning is what we need to get to to get students to move to the higher level learning.
