My friend and colleague Jason is beginning some new blogging work with his students.  You might be interested, particularly if you teach IB Theory of Knowledge.  (One great thing about the IB Diploma pPogramme is that all students must take an epistemology course.  I wish that everyone took a class about how we know what we know. Here’s more info on IB’s course.)  Here’s a bit of info: #

I’m having the students each host the blog for a week in an attempt to
get them to record for me how people are responding on the blog. All of
my expectations, including my "Blog Log", are found here. #

Now that my students are thinking, writing, and recording for me… it all begins.  Now we’ll just see where it takes me. #

In other classroom blogging news…
In
2 weeks or so, a new TOK blog will be set up for an international
audience. Schools from Colorado, Chicago, Munich, Singapore, the UK,
and Equador will be talking to each other. I’m still in the process of
formalizing how that will look but I’ll post more info. when I know. #

As a plus and an aside, here’s a teaching resource for one IB TOK teacher’s courses, an online community for IB students and graduates, as well as a weblog ring of IB students.  Interesting stuff. #
