A Classroom 2.0 forum to watch

Mitch Fowler has started a new forum over at Classroom 2.0.  Here’s how he describes it:

Recently, Wesley Fryer forced me to realize that I am simply “digitizing school 1.0 (as he put it at NECC)”. While I thought I was using my classroom blog (www.mrfowler.wordpress.com) in an innovative way, I am pretty much just having my classroom have a conversation with themselves electronically. While this does improve typing skills, it doesn’t incorporate conversation with the outside world. For this reason I have a few questions:

1. How do others incorporate blogs into the school day?
2. What type of topics do you blog about?
3. What strategies have been effective in bringing in genuine collaboration between students and professionals in the real world?

I am very anxious to hear what others are doing!

I think it’s something to keep an eye on…

On a lighter note…

This is one of my all-time favorite Far Side cartoons.
