Using Web2.0 Tools for Student Writing
In our workshop today we've been talking about ways to get students writing and reading each others' writing. I first tried using a blog two years ago as a way for students in AP Psychology to post extra credit reflections on psychology topics and examples in the news and in their lives. The hard part was providing editing and posting options while maintaining and protecting student privacy. I have since moved on to pbwiki as my mainstay for providing opportunities for students to practice and publish their writing, but many tools are available for promoting student writing.

Hmmm... times have changed! My old blog doesn't exist anymore but it looks like the old link will at least take you to the edublogs (formerly learnerblogs) site. PBwiki is now PBworks, but two years later it's still my go-to (outside of Moodle) for student content collaboration.
