Near the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year, we piloted a blogging project with American Studies students at the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts. This site is designed to host all of the resources we created for that project in one spot. We hope you can make use of these resources in your own classrooms.

Resources:
 * Presentation given at [|NCSSSMST] in March 2009 - In [|PowerPoint] or [|PDF]
 * [|Project Info Sheet] - Includes purpose, list of focus events, cast of characters, project parameters, and a list of potential research resources.
 * [|Blog Grading Rubric] - Created by [|Ryan Bretag].
 * [|Blogger Setup Guide] - A step-by-step illustrated guide that shows students how to create a blogger account, enable comment moderation, and get their first post out there.
 * [|Student Survey] Results - You can view the [|summary] or the [|complete results matrix].
 * [|Student Blog Index] - This post links to each student blog created for this pilot project.
 * [|Managing Student Blogs with Google Reader] - An excellent step-by-step guide to making the grading process more manageable. Thanks Sue!
