Blogging with my Class
We have had a successful week blogging in Room 18. Our first attempt at it is going well. I think most children have set up their pages within the class blog site and have all written an article or two. The children have been so excited about it and motivated to write which is awesome.
We have had a few glitches which is to be expected but we will work together to solve those problems. For example, quite a few children have lost their blog articles when they save them, the system logs them out and they lose their writing, had some very crestfallen looks. I have a solution for this but will work with the children to see what they think, probably best to write and save our articles in word and copy and paste when we are ready.
Many chidlren have gone online at home to check out the blogs and left comments which is fab. Next step is to get the chidlren reading each others articles and leaving them comments...
All very exciting and having lots of fun.
Time is ticking and I cannot spend all Friday evening in the class... heading home soon...
Ka kite all.
