Until September 8

Hey folks,
Looks like everyone has a blog running now...so don't be shy about practicing on it. You can write anything you think of that relates to Big6 or Information Literacy (or any part of teaching for that matter) as your school year begins. Let's see what grows here.

Welcome to our blog!

Welcome to blogging in the Information Literacy class. This blog is a place for all of us to post some thoughts and reactions while we learn about one of the most important new sources of information available online. While blogs are most often public journals with a single author, ours will demonstrate how a blog might be used with a group of learners to share information.

To keep this one organized for the entire class, I'll be posting prompts from time to time to which you will reply or "comment." In addition, each of your individual "journals" will be attached to this blog so that we may share reflections on learning throughout the course. I'll get your blog addresses once you have set up your account and link them all from our main blog page.

It will be interesting to see how each of our "voices" comes out here even though we will be able to talk to one another daily.
