Blogging
Blogging
The kids can't get enough. They blog their journals. They blog their poetry. They blog Jasmine's diary from White Jade Tiger. They blog as explorers, fur traders and document workshops, movie making and field trips.
We started to blog with the idea of blogging once every week or two. We now blog every day we are together. The kids are always looking for more ideas to blog. They write more now. They are more creative in their blogs and they are always busy taking pictures of their work with the iPads to publish their work in their blogs.I struggle to keep up as now I have 29 blogs to follow and a class of prolific writers. Blogging has transformed my classroom, taken on a life of its own, given my students a purpose and an audience. They share their blogs with family and friends and take the time to share them with each other. They like being able to show their writing to relatives from all around the world.
Writing has taken on new importance to the class. The students have begun to take charge of their own learning and choose to blog from home as well.
