When reading or writing, you need to almost take 'emotion' out of the content as it may not be received with the same feelings as delivered. Of course you still have the option of using all caps to really make a statement. <BR/><BR/>Informal versus formal -- I think there could be some flexiblity in this area....not with spelling, but with sentence structure and such. If blogging is to be more like a conversation, then shouldn't students be allowed to "write" the way they speak. I think that if we require too much formality from their responses, then they may begin to view blogging the same as any other type of "writing" assignment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155920154597671592.post-85746776391406618332009-02-18T08:15:00.000-08:002009-02-18T08:15:00.000-08:00Yes, you may use the image.With the text talk...I'...Yes, you may use the image.<BR/><BR/>With the text talk...I've had students turn in term papers for math with text talk in it. I just refused to grade those papers until they fix the "text talk."<BR/><BR/>I am the queen of foot-in-mouth disease, and that's when I'm in person. That's why I'm so careful online.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227705027041660750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155920154597671592.post-43671226140118788072009-02-18T07:32:00.000-08:002009-02-18T07:32:00.000-08:00First of all, I LOVE your double-bubble!!

If you give me permission, I would love to post this to the wiki and I will credit you for the image as well.<BR/><BR/>Yes, there is a "formal" and an "informal" way to speak on blogs. I've found that most educational blogs that I visit, although they have a conversational feel to them, are written formally (correct grammar, no IM talk). I believe that speaks to the education level of those writing the blogs and the comments left on the posts are typically of the same caliber. <BR/><BR/>I'm pleased to hear that you expect "formal" talk on your wiki. It is important for students to learn that there is a place for IM/Text talk, but the classroom or even a digital-based work is not the place for it. I know this has become a great concern for many teachers now as they find that students are slipping into text talk mode when completing assignments. <BR/><BR/>I will admit to laughing about the IDK when they don't know the answer. At least they didn't forget to answer it (she said tongue in cheek). <BR/><BR/>"Sometimes this can also be good. You might have meant what was said one way, but the person reading it takes it a whole new directions." <BR/><BR/>What you brought up here is a situation that I have encountered many times in emails. What I wrote was interpreted very differently than the intent behind the words. Does that happen in blogs? Sure, it does. But that is when the great conversations can take place, too. Commenting allows for that and when the conversation can be taken into an unexpected direction, great things can happen!Caroline Bucky-Beaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838243150264965454noreply@blogger.com
