I discussed blogging with my media specialist at the middle school I teach at in the northern suburbs in Blaine. She started her own blog last year and is current on blogging. In Minnesota the 23 things on a stick (I believe this is what it is called) was shown during one of their monthly meetings last year to all the media professionals in the Anoka-Hennepin school district. This is a great name by the way to go along with Minnesota State Fair theme. The media specialists were asked to create their own blog. Hopefully the professionals took advantage of this opportunity.
I see blogging more and more now that this assignment was presented. Radio and television personalities seem to have one. Even in my fantasy football league there is a place to post a blog. I asked the 120 sixth graders that I teach if they heard of blogging. 85% knew of blogging and about 40% have there own blogs. So in my simple sample I see that this is something that students do and I need to stay current. So I better get on board. Hopefully so far, so good.
