Blogging

I think I have been a blogger off and on for a long long long time. The firt time I ever started was back, yes, back in 1999. I was down, depressed and didn't want to talk to anyone. So, I started writing, posting, and anything that made my thinking free.It felt very good. As if I had my own world, that I could write anything about anyone and all about my feelings. All about me. Then I moved on more with my experiences in China and the storeis there. My travels, Chinese cuisine and receipes, and ofcourse, my students. .http://naslebaran.persianblog.ir

The first time we started blogging with my students was when SARS was epidemic in China and schools as well as Colleges were all closed. So we started having our first virtual class with Class blog and it did worked.
Later on, many of my students started having their own blogs and writing and well, yes, complaining about .... http://icb.cau.edu.cn/intor_oratione.htm
It's been a long time now, on my personal blog, I write about my family and especially about my son. Though time doesn't allow me to write as often as I did before but I try to keep posting and guess what, my son can read now and he also has his own blog. He comes to computer and starts writing in his own words, what he think of.http://tiyamestaki.blogspot.com
We did also some blogging with my last ESOL class in 2006 and the school administration liked it very much. It was kind of Leading and teacher leadership role, because then on, many other teachers asked for more information and we had workshops on creating and How tos of Blogs. http://pimmitschool.blogspot.com
Right now, I am having my Adult ESOL class after a long time gap, and we have started posting our lessons and journals as well as reflections on our lessons. More than that, before even I ask my students to go on commenting on peers blogs, they have started reading each other's blog and commenting to initiate more discussion and conversation on the topics.
I would say, " Way to Go Class!"
If you got the time, have a look. These are just a handful of my students' blog. I love this group. They are very creative and have the potentials that they don't even know of it. I did tell my students that higher authorities are going to read your blogs :) and leave comments, so Pls, leave a comment for them, if you got the time. Thank you
