What are they Thinking?

I am currently presenting to a group of educators from the state of New York about Web 2.0. We just has lunch and most of them are still awake. I’m asking how many of these educators had heard of blogging.

The answers are:

  • 100% have heard of blogging
  • 95% say that they have read a blog
  • 5% say that they read blogs regularly
  • 5% say that they have a blog
  • 2% say they’ve tried it
  • 4% say that they have solved a problem from information that they received in a blog
  • 40% say at this point (and we haven’t gotten to the good part yet) that they will use blogs after the work)
  • 4% say (at this point) that they will have their own blog

  1. WE must begin to speak the language of our students. I have just finished posting a blog about the explosively incredible response to the implementation of wikipages in my classroom. It has transformed my whole school! I am calling it “wiki wiki teaching.” We are seated on some of the greatest opportunities of teaching in recent history! We must open our eyes and begin to communicate in ways our students find relevant. The communication method doesn’t matter — it is the content that is and always has been important.

    David, I want to thank you for being inspirational and an incredible presenter! I am forever a fan! I hope you’ll read what you’ve started at our school and visit some of my students work — http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/.
