BLOGGING+TIP



**1. WHY START TO BLOG/ WHY CONTINUE?**

**2.** **HOW HEALIGAN DOES IT **

[|STUDYWIZ]JOURNALS: private,easy to read and assess, easy to implement

[|Blogger]: easy, free, my first blog (fio and Wilm U), can stay ad free

Wordpress-cadillac compared to Blogger’s prius.[| REMARK]

Tumblr: blogging of choice for teens. Very 21st c—graphics first then text, not as useful for school, blocked, no security

Twitter: microblogging. Great way to commune with kids, simple writing lessons, collaboration. Off limits now. Sad

Edublogs: Wordpress, free, great free online lessons. For teachers. Safe

Edmodo: diocese using. Social platform for teaching. I think blogs, better for younger kids

**Healigan tests new strategies first on herself, then on seniors, then for everyone else. Higher phases: new lessons are stickier faster, lower phases deserve more scaffolding**


 * Learning is (always) only as good as your plan. Any time you use tech, you will need Plan A, Plan B, Plan C for achieving learning, not tech. **
