Dealing with Chain E-mail

I am so lucky to have some really good people in my PLN (Personal Learning Network).

One of these is Pat H aka "looneyhiker" at Successful Teaching .

She alerted me to the blog of Teaching Challenges .

The most recent blog from Teaching Challenges was dealing with Chain E-mail and showed the following video. It is excellent way to show students (and some adults too!) how chain e-mail is not a good thing.

21st Century Schools and Teachers need to teach 21st Century Students about safe and savvy use of Web 2.0 tools.

Jen Wagner (another member of my PLN) of Tech Thoughts By Jen made a good point that we need to teach GOOD TECH ETIQUETTE to students NOW! We do not need to wait until students are enrolled in middle school to impart Technology Etiquette. Elementary students are using the internet, e-mail, and Web 2.0 tools NOW and they need to be taught proper etiquette NOW!

Enjoy the video!

Posting to Your Blog via E-MAIL

View full size

I just found out that you can post to your blog by sending yourself an email at your blog address. This could be helpful when you set up a class blog. Students can send their comments via a cell phone or a computer. Pictures can be posted as well.

So here's my try.

Let's hope it works!

If you want to read a detailed explanation about this go to Tammy Worcester's website http://www.tammyworcester.com/ and click on Tech Tips. (I also put the website in as text here.)You will be glad you did!

I am also going to try to put the website in by writing html code as I do when I am really at my blog site. (THIS DID NOT WORK straight from e-mail, but I could edit it later when I got to the blog site.)

We will see which works best!
