[...] I’ve updated the draft version of the video I originally titled “safe classroom blogging.” The final title is “perspectives on classroom blogging.” Thanks very much to everyone who provided feedback and suggestions. I’ll be showing this video in about two hours in my presentation on “Safe Classroom Blogging” for the MacWorld 2007 K-12 education day in San Francisco. [...]

[...] Draft Safe Blogging intro video (Via Moving at the Speed of Creativity.) Wes Freyer has posted a draft of a safe blogging video he will present at MacWorld. I will be doing something similar for Laguna Beach in the coming weeks, so I’ll need to find time to watch it. In the meantime, I’m sharing it here for others. [...]

Wesley, the video is absolutely fantastic - it will be a great intro into what I’m sure will be a wonderful presentation - good luck! I had meant to respond to your call for contribs a few weeks ago, and I am sorry I did not get to it. If you are looking for any last minute testimonials, shoot me an email. I’m in the midst of trying to “bring the bloggers back” from last year… long story. Anyway, safe travels, and all the best - Mark

I’d also agree with Bob’s comments about the title as well as the power of the student voices. I’d like to see some voices from Clarence’s students or some middle level students. If you’d like, I can get, or you can use, portions of my video with first graders and the students of Kathy Cassidy’s grade one classroom.

Listening to the students from SF is really the critical message and piece…good stuff.

Thanks for sharing a draft and allowing others to contribute. We’ve done this with wikis but haven’t seen this done much with video.

I liked how you shared what life is like in the blogosphere without speaking a word and without telling viewers how important it is for them to start blogging. It is great to have this video organized like this so that it is in the words of students and teachers, and it gives a snapshot of what the current educational blogosphere is all about. I can see this video being useful to share with a number of groups, including school board members, administrators, librarians, teachers and parents.

I always enjoy your creations and as Kelly said, the students comments about the benefits of blogging was an important part of the video. I think the title of the movie needs to be changed. I’m on the lookout for resources to use for my internet safety presentations and thought this might work… however, it doesn’t relate to safety and Web 2.0. The slides at the start went by very quickly… I’m not certain they made as much impact as they would if there were fewer (or the same number) presented with more time between them. Cheers… Bob

Wes, Great job. I had thought about the world aspect as well, but you already caught it. Nevertheless, I especially enjoyed seeing and hearing the students in their own voice describing what it means to them. The power is there.
