You have heard me say that your audience for our conversations may be anyone on Earth. I was wrong. I was listening to an interview last night where they announced that it is possible to blog from the international space station. Blogging is out of this world!

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackWoah. So basically what you’re saying is that people in space ships can see our conversations?

Alright, cool. That’s sort of exciting to know that people can read our blogs in outer space. Does this mean that we could communicate with them at all?
I think this has been going on for some time and we are not signed up. I only heard about it last night. Check out the site you may find something.
Thats awesome. They are up in the sky where we cant see them but they can talk to us. so cool.
Wow Mr. Biche! I didn’t know that people in space could supposably see our comments! Is that what you meant? Or are you saying that you can send comments to people in space?
alem,
It would appear that way. Although we are not a part of the program so I don’t know that we can comment at this time. At least we know the potential is there!
I think that it is really cool how people in space can see our comments and I also think it is cool that we can talk to them when they are in space.
So, they could be stalking our conversations from Space and we wouldn’t know? That’s is so cool but, freaky.
I think it’s amazing that we can blog with people in space. I thought it was amazing we could blog on this earth.
This is pretty cool Mr. Biche! It’s awesome that we are not just blogging world wide, but universe wide!
Is it possible to talk to the people in outer space?
That is so cool they are 10,000 miles up in space and they can talk to us down here!
Mr. Biche that is wicked cool, so were they actually writing back to those questions in space?
I come in peace! That’s cool,but also disturbing now the whole universe can see whatever we do on a computer. Mr. Biche, could we blog with them because that would be pretty cool?
Hi Mr. Biche and class. My name is Diane Hammond and I was the person who was interviewed on the WOW2 program about blogging from the ISS. We currently have classes registered from across the US and Canada, as well as from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh and Syria. We are taking a blended approach to learning about life in orbit. We are receiving Clay Anderson’s blog entries from the ISS, gathering questions and comments from the student blogs and passing them on to our experts - astronauts, staff at Space Center Houston, and physicists at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. We are also guiding students to complete their own in-class investigations that parallel the research being undertaken on the ISS. For instance in the past week a class of grade 6 students has posted blogs about the water filtration experiments they have just completed. In one of our focus areas we have instructions for building a “free-fall simulator” to germinate and grow seedlings in an environment where there is no apparent up or down. We know we have a class in Calgary working on those experiments right now. In a few weeks we’ll be connecting classes with McMaster University students who are irradiating seeds to see the effects of radiation on germination. There’s LOTS going on and we’d love to have your class join us. I’ve been reading your blogs and I see your class can teach other students about scientific research. Mr. Biche, you can still register. Just go to the site, iss07.yesican-science.ca and click on “Register”. There’s no charge and we’d love to have you join us!

Chaw, Caiz & Coup, this is amazing. This has to be some kind of breakthrough,… right?
[...] I could leverage some additional enthusiasm from my students who were new to blogging. I posted a short article on my class blog. Sure enough the students thought the idea was [...]
