Sebastian's pondering: "Let's take student learning logs or portfolios as an example. Would you want to 'expose' them to the world or rather limit access to fellow students, teachers, and parents? How useful would be a fine grained control of access feature? What strategies could we currently use within Manila to control access?"

MLK adoption of blogs has been moving surprisingly quickly. Still remains to be seen if the movement will last, but Karen Claxton and I were brainstorming on some of Sebastian's issues last week. Here are some initial thoughts from a classroom practice perspective.

End of the Year Crunch Time
I've entered into what is known as "crunch time". If you're a teacher in a K-12 building anywhere, you know what I mean when I say, "crunch time". Units have to be finished, reports need to be completed, orders made, records updated... Dead lines, Dead lines, Dead lines! A "to do" list so long that it engulfs you. You just know there's no way in this world you can possibly get it all done before the year ends. I've been teaching over 20 years and no matter what position I'm teaching, crunch time always carries a "there's not enough hours in the day to possibly finish all of this" kind of feeling. Somehow, though, the end comes and you manage to get everything done in time or else you decide some things maybe weren't quite as necessary as you thought.

I've got one more week of crunch time to get through before the summer vacation begins and I've got a million things to get done before that time, which has left me little time to blog. I have been working in the third grade weblog with third graders, helping them to get their biography reports posted.

This is not meant to be the end all be all of blog conferences. Other folks will probably do that with meatSpace. (Some good ideas for shaping a blog conference available there and at the site's links.)

The idea here is to get a ride from the Nat'l. Council of Teachers of English's locating in SF for Convention 2003, Nov. 20-25. That might get some airfares paid and some release time provided. SF also allows us to use some free computer facilities (available through the Bay Area Writing Project).

Thi is about this technology blog that talks all about the computers and new techlogy very a like to what blogger looks like. Even though it is roughly less better that the other one which is blogger.

A short form of "weblog", blogs seem to be appearing nearly everywhere on the Internet. The sudden popularity of these web-based diaries or personal journals may be a little hard to understand at first, but upon closer inspection, their ubiquity should not be surprising at all. They are, after all, exceptionally easy to use and there are many no-cost hosting services available. Although yet to be embraced by the online TESL/TEFL community, I believe they deserve serious consideration by instructors as course supplements and as textbook supplements by authors and publishers.

Hi! How are you today? I'm fine but I am a little nerveous because I do not know when we are going to have our grades, plus I think that I did good and I know I got over 3.5 overall which makes it good and great I'm happy their is another assignment that I need to do that is due today so I will, do it today. so I have to go and do my work, see you later.

Established in 1996, the school opened with the help and support of over 40 business partners. We were quickly designated a California and U.S. Department of Education Demonstration Site and this year became the model Digital High School for the state of California. We run a rigorous, college prep, collaborative, integrated, project-based program. Above and beyond normal graduation requirements, our students complete requirements in these additional areas: take four college classes; two years of internship in a work environment; one additional year of mathematics; one year of Multimedia I; and perform to industry standards (on software products) before high school graduation. Technology standards and skill development are embedded in our curriculum.

Assignment of students to New Technology High School is strictly voluntary. Every student who attends NTHS applied to be here. Our criteria are that a student be on track for graduation from Napa Valley Unified School District with a minimum "C" average as well as having completed Algebra I or better. We advise students to take their life science and foreign language classes during ninth and tenth grade.

The class above is a better class than this, it does not compare, we are nothing compared to them.

Program Design
Curriculum Resources:
Students examine a small group of topics from the perspectives of Biology, Earth/Space Science, Chemistry and Physics. Because the basic sciences are introduced simultaneously, students can see how they fit together in a larger body of knowledge. The Integrated Science curriculum is designed as a three year continuum. Each block has a single, integrating concept organized around a different theme at each grade level.

This is another cool and harder and better class than ours.

Overview

Operating as a Fairfax County Public School and located in Alexandria, Virginia, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST) provides its 1,600 students with high-level academic coursework integrated with cutting-edge technology. As the Governor's School for Science and Technology in Northern Virginia and a member of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology, it is committed to ensuring that students graduate prepared to excel in both higher education and the emerging technology-based workforce of the 21st Century.

This slightli better than ours but the prblem with ours is that we don't do nothing exept some new stuff each quarter.

ezboard.com is web page where you can past what ever you want and plus I think, that it is way better that blogger and than bloki.com
bloki.com is another web page that is very a like to this one, bloki looks like blogger but not exactly each one has their own difference in between them.
webmaster.com is another page that is also like the blogger but it is not the same as ezboard it is close to blogger and bloki but no exactly.

I already did the assignment but just in case later you say that I did not do nothing, I will do it again but please look at it before you put our grades. thats all I have to say see you later, look at what I'm going to write and do.

Hi! How are you today? I'm fine but there is one thing that I'm not sure, that whats going to be our final is it going to be hard easy, I think that no matter what they give us there is going to be no problem handling it because I know that I am capable of doing what ever I want plus I think that it is going tobe very easy at the end because we have something that we haven't seen yet so thats about it. Oh! I ran the mile 24 seconds under than the last time! 7:31. Tomorrow push ups.
