A few weeks ago, I introduced blogging to my students. It had been my goal to start something like this, so I was excited to get it going! I showed them the basics, talked about a blog's purpose, gave them my expectations, and they were on their way. I still can't get over how quickly they picked up on this skill!
I wanted my kids to blog for several reasons.
1. To reflect on topics learned in school
2. To practice typing using correct conventions
3. To apply writing craft learned during Writer's Workshop
4. To have a global audience
5. To use technology in a meaningful and authentic way.
They loved it the second they tried it. They were authors and could write a journal entry for the world to see. Wow!
I am so proud of my little authors. Please follow us if you are interested! You can even leave a comment, as we will be discussing them.
