English Dept Conversation

I had a conversation with my English department regarding Blogging and Facebook. They knew I was taking this grad class, and were very interested in hearing what I’ve been learning. They are intrigued by using blogging as a way of book discussion. However, they echoed my hesitation with using this medium as a way of not having in-class discussions. I, too, firmly believe we need to continue to teach kids how to speak and compose their thoughts effectively verbally. It’s a nice idea to communicate with kids in other classes or across districts, state or world.
