  • What I like about this approach is that parents can choose the level of privacy - name, image in photos and/or videos, comment moderation
  • 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:
  • Diigo Sticky Screenshot

  • –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.

    Letter to parents introducing blogging as "connective reading and writing." Talks about benefits of blogging and about student judgment in privacy settings. Rather than dictating what students will do, there's room for individual differences.
