I agree with Doug. We also have rules about cell phones and texting in class. I have the discussion about appropriateness, but also confiscate the phones. Isn't always the case. Technology makes life easier and harder! Charlie

I like pbworks as well. And Wetpaint. I don't have classroom experience with these, but our project team for MSP2 has relied on the wiki platform (pbworks). It's great, especially as the main project staff are across three different…

I'm going to throw in my two cents and vote for a wiki from pbworks. It's easy enough to create and really begs for collaboration. You can create collaborative pages for analyzing the texts. You can also create individual pages for each of…

I am familiar with Google Groups as an easy to use free source. Ning also might work well for you.

I use Moodle (I would use the forum or wiki pieces for your project) and am conducting one of the Tech Talks. If it is available in your district, i'd be more than happy to help. Thanks for the edmodo link David- I'll have to check that…

Love the Twitter suggestion!
We have Tech Talks scheduled on Moodle, wikis, and interactive notebooks. These might be good opportunities to look at and have some high level, initial conversation about these strategies.

Karolee has mentioned a few great options. I especially like wikis and Google Tools such as Groups and Docs. Both of these online tools make for easy collaboration between students. If you are interested in building a wiki I use www.pbworks.com and…

I am not familar with School Loop. We use "Moodle" and it works well for discussions and other sharing.

Hi there
We are just getting School Loop, and it seemed pretty limited in student posting, but I'll know more about that in a couple of weeks. There are several ways to set up student communication and collaboration. There are plenty of free…

More Technology Discussion
Thanks for all the suggestions about using technology for discussion. I will check them out over the next few weeks. My school seems a bit limited with technology. Last year was my first with an LCD, Elmo, and computer connection, which I loved and began to learn to use for writing, Say, Mean, Matter responses, etc.. If I can get into your suggestions, my kids will probably appreciate it!

Technology for Discussion
I am going to be teaching 125 8th graders in Santa Ana CA, this year, and I am interested in finding out about how to set up an on-line discussion for texts we read. I am supposed to have 3 sections of Honors, although that may well change by the time I get back to school! I went to the NCTE conference in San Antonio and tried to learn about this in the hallway presentations. Not very satisfying because couldn't ask questions and it was hard to see what was going on with 25 or more people… Continue

We've had three Tech Talks so far - one on Interactive Notebooks, Moodle, and Digital Storytelling. You can get to the recordings of those by clicking on the Web Archive link.
You can see all our upcoming events by clicking on the Events tab. The next TechTalk topic is Using Wikis. We've got lots more topics to cover in the next few months - technology, pedagogy, content knowledge, all sorts of fun stuff! Any ideas on additional topics or feedback you have would be greatly appreciated! Kim

- Hi Charlie - I see that nobody officially welcomed you to the MSP2 social network! You just jumped right in which is wonderful.I see that you choose "other" when you registered. From your posts it seems like you might be an English teacher? I'm very curious why anyone joins the network that is outside our main audience. Thanks for participating! Kim
