2008-10-26 11:53:37 [Message] Maureen/bcdtech -> -EdTechTalk: I moderate by thru the edublogs emails- but I am usually right there when the kids are blogging and get asked- "is this OK?" if they have questions before they post.

2008-10-26 11:54:49 [Message] derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: I let some comments go through this year for the first time from students commenting on spelling and grammar mistakes because I can't get some students to follow through on what I've been asking

2008-10-26 12:29:51 [Message] Maureen/bcdtech -> -EdTechTalk: @ Lisa- I agree and on too many committees. But I want to have a voice in future at my school.
2008-10-26 12:29:58 [Message] Nedra -> -EdTechTalk: @maureen I too find it difficult to keep up with everything and have trouble staying focused when I get online.
2008-10-26 12:30:11 [Message] Lisa Parisi -> -EdTechTalk: Yes, Maureen, that's why I do it.
2008-10-26 12:30:34 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @maureen-I think serving on those committees is very important!
