Speaking of Blogs
After chatting with a Spanish teacher in the Media Center at the middle school, I brought up to her the use of blogs to communicate with Spanish-speaking students in other parts of the world.
She was interested in this idea especially when I told her that blogs can be made private or available for all to see. I told her that she can select who can read and post to them through BLOGGER.
There was an identity/privacy worry if done with school email.
I feel that this would extend the Spanish curriculum and make it feel useful in a safe way.

Good idea to use a blog for communicating with other Spanish speaking students. A wiki is another possibility, but the problem is not all wikis have FREE password protection.
Yes, I can make this blog private so only you and me can read it but I left it for the public, but no one has come to visit:(
Anyway, I did some work here at University College regarding how other schools use blogs. I think Harvard has theirs extremely private because I could not even gain access to the site. There are considerations to making University communication publically accessible. The school has an image to represent and monitoring would be necessary.
In fact, I told the Spanish teacher at Eastern who was interested in this idea that she would receive an email every time a comment is published, just like I do every time you, Bill, post a comment.
