Setting up a teacher directed blog for students.
Thank you Thea Kester, High School Social Studies Teacher. In addition to hosting your beautiful daughter and her children in from New Jersey this past week, you eagerly took on the mantle of developing a blog for Social Studies teachers grades 9-12.
How did this happen? Thea, Lauren Hanson, Teaching Assistant and I, met up and accessed the Edublogs web site and began following the instructions. In the first lesson Thea picked out her design header and wrote a post. We then invited teachers to respond. I returned to my office and posted a comment to the blog immediately. I am so excited.
Thea is sponsoring the following blog. http://hewessocialstudies3.edublogs.org. The 3 represents the 3 high school social studies teachers at the Hewes Center of Erie 2 Boces – Greg G., Cindy J. and Thea Kester.
The high school teachers at the Hewes Center teaching summer school will be able to pioneer this blog with students over 6 weeks, July 7-August 15, 2008. This is our goal anyway. I will help feed this blog over summer school since Thea herself will not be teaching but both Cindy and Greg both teachers of Social Studies at the Hewes Center, will be. I encourage others to visit this blog to show support and give ideas.
Suffice it to say that Thea and I will be collaborating this summer.
