How are you getting started?
Three weeks left then internship, grade 5/6. I am pumped. But also a tad nervous… So many questions. I am starting out with Phys ed and hopefully by the end of the first week I will be using lab times to get started on student blogging and introducing various tools. But I don’t really know how I am going to begin and I am looking for advice. I know that my implementation of technology will snowball and develop over time but I want to be prepared so I can guide successful usage. 
This idea came to me from David Jakes via twitter, he asked the question of which video to show on the first days of school - the answers came in as Did you know? Pay Attention and Sir Ken Robinson. or maybe The machine is us/ing us But what else do we need to do to start.
I believe I need to begin with a strong focus on digital citizenship. So I will probably also show Think BeforeYou Post and introduce why how real life and digital life is one in the same.
But how else can we prepare our students over the first couple weeks. What are the best choices for setting up student blogs? Do I get them google accounts right off the bat? That way we can use google docs, blogger, reader. How about use RSS? What particular routines or rules will be useful for class management?
I am looking for answers from all you teachers out there. Please help.
