Notes
Blogging is, at its roots, a conversation between you and whoever else decides to read your thoughts. You will notice that I only give you topics and not questions or an outline to follow. That is because blogging is a reflective act, and only you can decide what "School 2.0" means. What thoughts does it provoke in you and what do you think of the whole 2.0 movement. Now that you have your RSS reader (Google Reader) set up I encourage you to start making a habit to at least once a week read entries from other bloggers or even visit their blogs to leave comments or search the term School 2.0. I hope that you find blogging a worthwhile activity in these coming weeks, and like me, make it a part of your daily/weekly Professional Development.

We'll slow the pace down this week. No new tools, take some time to get your feet under you, do some reading, some reflecting and find your routine.

Blogging is about conversations, conversations in an open format. What makes blogging different then journaling is the ability to link to the information you are talking about. I encourage you to link anything and everything you talk about that is linkable. The web is smart, it tracks links to and from other web sites.

This is how we connect ideas and thoughts. So for example, this week when you blog about the Web 2.0 book I suggest you link to it on Amazon. The important part is linking the information together. Again, make sure you have added the other students to your RSS reader so that you can follow and comment on their thoughts on this course as we move ahead.
