That's a great way to get the teachers in there and talking. I love the weeding party idea, too. And your idea to hold parent information sessions and workshops during dances or other student functions. All in all - great post and great ideas!!

As someone who is a bit shy herself, I find that writing has always been the easiest way to express myself. I can appreciate the benefits that blogging would have on the more shy students. I also think that once their confidence has been built up by the creative expressions that blogging offers, perhaps interaction with other students will increase (talking about the latest blog, etc.). With this also comes a more confident speaker as well! I agree. As someone who is a bit shy herself, I find that writing has always been the easiest way to express myself.

I bet you are learning some wonderful new tips and tricks about being a successful TL. I agree with what you say about blogs being most effective as a blend of library and librarian schools of thought. I will also add that I think great blogs are perhaps a blend of both. I also agree that shy students may benefit from writing a thought in their blogs, but I hesitate to agree whole-heartedly. I think some students, knowing that many others (even those outside of their classroom) are going to be able to read their posts may be even more reluctant to contribute. I think that would have been me as a k-12 student. Saying something in class happens once and it's over, whereas something written in a blog can be referred to again and again, and that may freak shy students out more. Your posting really gets me thinking, because I know that times have changed, and this seems to be the generation for full disclosure reporting (yikes!). So, maybe k-12ers don't have the same kind of shyness that would have prevented me from even considering communicating via a blog. I would love to talk about this with the "shy" students and get their feedback on it. P.S.- You're blog design is very nice- soothing and without lots of extraneous stuff everywhere. Plus, I love ducks! Great example of well put-together blog. Jen Hi Rebecca,

I hadn't thought of it, but you're absolutely right: they can still articulate their thoughts as they would in a paper, but they have the added benefit of being able to post it up for the whole class to read. They don't have to worry about stuttering or misspeaking, because they can always edit. I love the idea that blogging will help shy students.
