Our eighth grade Language Arts teacher and I co-sponsor our school's reading club for teachers. We meet once a month and discuss one pre-selected title. It's a great group and we really enjoy our discussions. I thought a blog for the group would be a good way to expand our book discussions to include personal favorite, continue our book discussions in the summer, and acquaint our staff with the concept of blogging in general.
The blog is ready to go - http://teachersread.blogspot.com/
It is "invitation only", but I did send invitations to members of our blogging class in case you want to check it out.
As I said in my deliverable, I was glad to "test run" blogging with colleagues first to get the bumps out before I tried this with students.
I had two initial trial members and have just invited five more book club members as beta testers for their feedback before I send out to the entire book club.

Week Three
This week's topics include
- How blogs are being used in education
- Edublog models
- The commercialization of blogs
The 2006 Edublog Award winners were humbling :-) There are so many really good educational blogs, but as I continue my blog search, I marvel at the greater number of "rambling" blogs. I even saw one that somehow had junk mail in the comments sections. I wonder how that happened.

The Learning Blogosphere - Part 2
Look at the post below for Learning Blogosphere - Part 1. The order system of blogging posts is something to get use to :-)
Snow Day!
Very rarely do I get uninterrupted "web time." I am taking advantage of this extra time to continue my study of educational blogging.
