Chapter 3

Chapter Three
In “Weblogs: Get Started!”, Richardson recommends a few important steps to take in order to successfully implement the use of Weblogs in the classroom. Some of his helpful suggestions include: start small, provide students with the opportunity to preview exemplar blogs, inform parents and administrators of your agenda, clearly define expectations, and provide students with the assessment piece you will be using.  Richardson also spends a significant time discussing ways to decrease risks of harm and misuse.  The chapter ends with a list of helpful resources.
I found this chapter very beneficial!  The information presented in the chapter will be useful to me as a teacher, but more importantly the step by step explanation is personally helpful.  I was able to use the steps presented on pages 48-53, to review the lesson given during class and to work on my blog assignment.
