I'm scared!

I didn't want to start the blog out on a negative note, but I am scared to start this project. I know that I do not have time to monitor all content and I'm afraid that something inappropriate would appear and that I would miss it! Right now there is a Facebook Page attributed to me that I have yet to see. Apparently a couple of my AP students have created me and there are numerous comments. It is all in Spanish and I understand that it is harmless, but..

I guess what must happen is a more controlled blog. I experimented last semester with a ParaBLOG where students post paragraphs (the learning process) but I didn't like it and I see that I realy doesn't qualify as blogging! I used 21classes which is pretty good (for free stuff)!

Right now I am thinking about have them Think About their Thinking in Spanish. That might help control content, but it probably won't inspire anyone to look at anyone else's blog.
Again, not really taking advantage of its potential.

Guess I will have to keep thinking about it...

Let's Get the Blog Rolling!

I have to say that blogging in the Foreign Language Classroom has awesome potential. Remember, that to create learning the first requirement is simply use the target language. Create the blog in Spanish = LEARNING. I love the idea of letting them blog about life in general or life at Briar Woods. It would be such a good learning experience for them.
