Because this was our first attempt, I&#8217;ve been very hands-on.  I have been teaching the lessons while the teacher assists both in class and by tracking down permission forms.  We scheduled one extra lap visit per week so I could teach the introductory lessons, help edit blog posts, assist with publishing the first posts, approve the posts and moderate the comments.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy to say that the classroom teacher is gradually taking over.  First, she figured out a rotation schedule for their silent reading time. Each day, x number of kids rotate through using the four classroom computers to write posts, reply to comments, and leave comment on our blog pals&#8217; blogs.  No longer do they need to spend lab time blogging.<\/p>\n<p>Today I took the next step and changed the blog email address from mine to hers.  Now all comments will come to her to be approved.  I&#8217;ll also show her one more time how to approve blog posts, and then the system will be hers to run.<\/p>\n<p>Thus far, she seems pleased with her students&#8217; excitement and their eagerness to read and write blog posts.  This project is now supporting her classroom curriculum.  I hope all my other integration projects go so well this term.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a tech integrationalist, are you being successful at gradually releasing control of projects? Do you have any tips to share to help the rest of us do this well?<\/p>\n<p>If you are a classroom teacher, what steps can tech integrationists take to help you feel more comfortable assuming control and responsibility of integration projects?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been writing lately about our first elementary blogging project at my school.
