I have been trying for a while without any luck, I'm just new to 21 classes. Did you change the CSS code? If so, how? How were you able to embed a Voki in the sidebar of the blog.

The blogging experience has been great with my students. Each day they come to class and check their comments and are engaged in the daily posting. I have incorporated so many skills into this unit (digital citizenship, photo editing, reading, writing, Web 2.0, html code, critical thinking, etc.) that are useful and valuable for all.

Thank you for sharing your reflections on how to set the project up and what concern came about because of the way the project was structured. This is an excellent example of how participatory technology can add richness to the experiences of the students. Great post!

Using the Ghandi quote was an excellent idea. Thanks so much for including your lesson parameters, expectations, and reflections. The caveats were appreciated also. It is always good to know what pitfalls a teacher might look out for when they try to duplicate such an ambitious project. In my opinion, you should be very proud of this student learning experience using the online venue of blogging. I am sure the time and effort were well worth it.

We're introducing some new class features at http://edublogs.org soon too (you can already easily create student blogs) so we'd love it if you could give us a try sometime and share your reflections on that :) Great to hear your reflections, very practical I reckon and something I’m definitely bookmarking.
