Teachers Teaching Teachers #23 - Developing Student Dialogue on Blogs: Continuing the Conversation

It's exciting to report that students are posting on their blogs and other students have begun to respond.
-What kinds of response do we want our students to make?
-How do we push them to go further than, “Niceee Poem!”
-How do we get students to connect on substantial content and not on surface correctness?
-How do we encourage them to do more than merely respond, to move toward real dialogue, pushing the topic to the next level?
