Administrators: Thing Three

As the curators of school culture, building and district administrators can use blogging as a means to foster healthy conversation. Dissent is welcomed, so long as the conversation, on both sides of an issue, is civil. I was drawn in to Kimberly Moritz's blog (Superintendent of a district in Western NY) because of the dialogue that people are invited to do as she shares what's happening in the district, such as the great work by a 7th grade math class in What is a prism? (Check out the student videos), and especially initiatives, which leads to discussions about Resistance to Change. This blog exemplifies the productive power of involving community into curricular thinking.

  1. In Thing 11 for this class one of the articles we have to read suggests that you put links to help support your blogs. I see you have done this all throughout your blogs. What a great way to share more information with your readers. I am new to blogging and had never put a link to something before this class. I hope to get as comfortable with it as you appear to be.

  2. Hi Educator2010,
    Blogger makes it so easy. You'll be doing it in not time. It makes for a great way to provide resources to your staff. I only wish that Blogger made it easy to post links in comments. It's possible if you know basic html. Good luck and happy journey to you :)
