As my first step into fresh territory – a new cultural/ linguistic realm for me (I think of it as BSL -Blogging as a Second Language), I thought it would be appropriate to see what other teachers were doing with blogs and the ESL classroom. I came across a site that specifically helps ESL and EFL learners start their own blogs (http://eslblogs.org/) as well as a comprehensive discussion of blogging for education by James Farmer (http://blogsavvy.net/category/blogging-for-education/). Of course, I need to mention my teaching partner this semester, Josh Levy (http://www.levjoy.com), from Hunter college who has helped my class embark on this on-line journey. Thanks, Josh.

i like the term BSL. It sounds very funny but is valid because a language is a way to comunicate and blogging is one of them. So let's be ESL and BSL!
As you comented, I think that blogging is an interesting way to comunicate our thoughts about different themes, and it's helpful.
I agree with you when you said that blogging as second language because,it is another way to comunicate and can be really useful for education.
i think that this program is very good because you can posted different topics and other people from different part of the world can see it and they can comment about it. also we can communicate through this programm.
Actually i think that the program of bcc is very helping for all of us!!!!!!!
