Blogging is so much fun. I just wish I had more time to spend in front of the computer. I have really enjoyed setting up a Blog for my classroom. It is much easier to update than my class webpage and my students can help by typing the entries. I have been trying to keep my webpage updated this year, but I haven't been very successful. Now, with my students' help, I am keeping my parents more informed about the events taking place in the classroom I always take a lot of pictures during the school year because our grade level usually makes a scrapbook for each student, or a DVD. I have been uploading the pictures to the Blog and letting the students type an entry to go with each picture. The class has posted entries about schoolwide celebrations, classroom activities, and units of study. The students first write in their journal and edit before they are allowed to post. I require the students to do this first so that I can help them edit their work before it is posted to the Blog. My students are more motivated to write in their journal, but they are even more concerned about editing because they know that their parents, and lots of other people will be reading too!
