This is a great way to inform parents about student blogging and give them a say in their child's privacy settings!

Miguel Angel Herrera OcanaBlog by a Literature and History Teacher. Awesome ideas. The concept of Connective Reading and Writing, having his English students create networks of interest with real-world writers in order to to discuss their own writing, is far better then blogging. It has more critical thinking involved.

What I like about this approach is that parents can choose the level of privacy – name, image in photos and/or videos, comment moderation – for their “child” (we have to come up with a better word for the young adult offspring of parental units).
Another thing I like is that it doesn’t use the unfortunate term, “blogging.” It uses the label “connective reading and writing”

“But how are you going to manage remembering the privacy levels chosen by the parents for each student? That seems like a nightmare.”
Here’s how: use Diigo. That’s what I’m going to do, anyway. Diigo now allows us to leave annotations (”stickynotes”) on web pages that are not attached to any highlighted texts, but just float on the page as a little yellow speech bubble. So I’m going to put a private, floating stickynote on each student blog’s homepage telling me the privacy levels chosen for him or her. It looks like this:

Peggy GeorgeExcellent blog post about blogging and use of Diigo in classroom by Clay Burrell.
Parents can choose the level of privacy - name, image in photos and/or videos, comment moderation - for their “child” (we have to come up with a better word for the young adult offspring of parental units). Another thing I like is that it doesn’t use the unfortunate term, “blogging.” It uses the label “connective reading and writing” instead. By calling it “connective reading and writing” (and I tried to very briefly define and explain how revolutionary this is in the parent letter below), the emphasis is instead placed on self-directed reading and writing - and creating networks of interest with real-world writers by discussing their writing, linking to it, commenting on their blogs, and hoping to attract them to form a relationship by commenting back on the students’ blogs. This type of blogging is more properly considered “project-based learning.”blogging privacy education Safety blog teaching parents classroom parentpermission

–hover over the speech bubble, and it shows you your annotation, eg.: “full name, pictures, videos okay, self-moderated comments,” or whatever.
So here’s the letter. If anybody wants to suggest changes, or collaborate on them, I’m all ears.
