Stop school bullying

WOW! What an incredible video from YouTube! Here's the potential of blogging-- to find and share resources like this one, that may not ever make a major media outlet, but are just as powerful and motivating and moving as anything Hollywood has produced!

Do you think your students could appreciate seeing this? Are there any ELA connections? Any bullying themes in any of the literature your students are reading? I also wanted to show you how easy it is to add video to your blog. Send me an email if you need an explanation on how I did it-- it's VERY simple to do!

What is the purpose of this blog?

I'm just an observer here--not sure how much I'll be able to contribute. But I'd like to start a dialogue with all of the authors of this blog on what this blog is supposed to be about.

Remember, what you post here is visible to the whole world (the "blogosphere"). But that's a good thing (as Martha Stewart would say), because who knows what other educators may occasionally drop in to read what you have to say, and to maybe even add a comment or question, or suggestion. My little blog (http://edtechupdate.blogspot.com in case you're interested) has had visitors from Hawaii, China, Australia, South America... either accidentally or on purpose. It's very exciting to think that I have the potential to reach a worldwide audience!!!

I know this whole "blogging" thing is brand new, and you may not know what it's capable of. Might I suggest you read some other blogs? I follow educational technology, and there are MANY outstanding blogs that I read on a regular basis. You can see a list of links to the blogs that I read here: www.bloglines.com/public/jdornberg I'm sure there must be some great ELA curriculum blogs that other organizations or individuals have started. Maybe one of your goals could be to find those and to share them on this blog?

Blogging is all about an exchange of information and ideas, and dialogue. It's sharing, but also discussion. You can rant, but remember EVERYONE IN THE WORLD can read what you've written, so use discretion.

So how about an ELA Curriculum MCISD roll call? Please share some ideas you have for this blog, and add a comment to someone else's post. If you have any questions, please email me at dornberg at misd dot k12 dot mi dot us

Jill - Let me know if you get this. I don't have anything exciting to post as of yet. Am working on my "new presentation for the 22nd. This is sort of like email but of course I need to save all my exciting ideas for the big blog.
