Al Upton interviewed about his students blogging project

Yesterday Classroom 2.0 organized a “live conversation” event  through Elluminate in which Al Upton was interviewed about his “miniLegends” student blogging; the program for 8- and 9-year olds received a closure order from the Department of Education and Children’s Services.

I was not able to join the live event but classroom 2.0 has now made available the recording of the interview and the main issue discussed:
Questions for Al:

• Your background
• What is the miniLegends program?

- How have students appreciated it?

- Parents / administrators?

• What are the events that have taken place this week?
• How has the response been?

- Students

- Parents

- Administrators

- Blogosphere?

• What are some of the larger themes at play here?
• What are you hoping will happen at this point?
• Where do you go from here?
