From the Edublogs awards, a couple of great tips. This first one is from the Teacher Blog of the Year, The Tempered Radical. He has an entry that discusses his guidelines that he's developed with his students over the past four years that have addressed the administrative fears of inappropriate postings and subsequent fallout.
I was also amazed to see that a middle school teacher took her class into Second Life! I haven't explored what they did, so can't speak to its usefulness, and it's not the direction I'm heading, but it was interesting to see that it had happened.
Since I'm running out of steam, I don't actually have more tips from the awards, but wanted to remind myself to go back and look a little deeper. Actually the wiki award for an AP Econ class looked killer, though I leapt away from it quickly as the rap music automatically comes on (kinda loud) and I didn't want to wake my family. I'm just grateful that Joyce Valenza is as resourceful and communicative as she is, and that I had a chance to catch up on some of her posts (gotta go back for those student-produced math videos) which is what alerted me to the edublog awards in the first place.

What a great idea to blog about the bloggers you are following for School Library Learning 2.0 "winter 2.0 fun."

Becca, I was struggling with posting my feeds to my blog. And I kept thinking, "But Becca did it on her blog..." Then with frustration, I would flop around on bloglines and Google Reader some more then look back at Blogger for advice then flop around some more. Then I finally went back to your blog to see why it worked for you and not for me. And, guess what?!? Yours don't work. Maybe I should not take so much glee in pointing out your own glitches. But it sure made me feel better about myself. Your blogline and Google Reader links take me to my own rss feeds because I cannot sign myself in as you. They appear to work for you because you are you. It is all a matter of virtual perspective.

'Tis true, my rss feeds are only there for my own convenience. Perhaps I should move them further down the page, or figure out (as you have, at least somewhat) how to make them public. Claire actually does a great job manipulating her feeds, and making them public, sharing them, etc. And, you can talk to her about avatar unrepresentfullness, too. Her blog is at http://postcoordinatebliss.wordpress.com/
