Letter to Parents and Adminstration

In order to provide my students with an opportunity to have their voices heard beyond the four walls of their classrooms and introduce them to another form of communicating, I have created a blog for my students’ work. Room 184 will display some of the work of my juniors and seniors. Because I think a little paranoia is a good thing, especially when dealing with students and the internet, my profile has been left incomplete and only students’ initials will appear on their postings.

Purpose of Room 184

• Provide my students with an opportunity to use technology to communicate their thoughts and ideas
• Provide my students an opportunity to receive feedback from individuals who may or may not be a part of their peer group, a teacher, or a member of their local community
• Encourage my students to put more time and effort into their writing
• Expose my students to the wonderful world of blogging
  Provide my students with an opportunity to brag that their work is on the internet
• Experiment with various Web 2.0 tools

Commenting Rules

I encourage you to make comments on any or all of my students’ postings. When you do comment, please follow these few simple rules.

• If you recognize or think you recognize me, the student’s initials or writing, do not use the student’s name.
• All comments must be appropriate in language and tone.
