@ UC Berkeley, Founding site of the National Writing Project
blogAtlanta - The 2002 Tour
His first name is Ed. Last name, Blogger.
He's the Bay Area Writing Project's Ed-ucational 'blog roadie,' the guy who'll show you around back stage on this 2002 Atlanta tour of educatonal applications for Web logs. If you're nice to him, he'll sell you a T-shirt at cost.
Check out any or all of the venues listed below. You'll find lots of ideas and experiments and successes and deadends that BAWP has been through in its blog initiatives, from geography-spanning"three ways" to individual student blog pages. The tour moves from a national networking level down to single classroom applications. On most sites, you can sign in as a guest and wander around to your click's delight. And, if so moved, you can write up your thoughts and reactions at the Feedback link under each of the page thumbnails in the list below. Thanks for participating.
