Blogger’s Blocked. Now What?

    Mr. McNamar’s got a problem:

My school has blocked access to blogger this year. I’ve been using it
for two years and would like to continue to do so. But, because
Blogger.com and the blogspot url needs "full site access," and because
the "next blog" feature in the top right, the filters will now block
access. Is there a way around this? Or has anyone used edublogs.org?

Send your suggestions his way.

Does Tech Change Writing? (Is that a leading question?)

    Kevin needs your help:

I am working with two distinguished researchers/writers in the field of composition (Charlie Moran and Anne Herrington)
from the University of Massachusetts Amherst to develop a book that
examines how our view of teaching writing and composition is changing
with the integration of technology. Anne and Charlie have looked at
writing practices from a variety of angles, including writing across
the curriculum and genres. Now they want to add technology to the mix.

We are looking for classroom teachers in grades 4-13 who can write
about their experiences. We have just published a call for proposals in
English Journal and other sources but I wanted to use my web of Blogs to get the word out, too.

Visit his blog to read the formal call for proposals.  Then get writing and send in a proposal.
