Adventures in blogging...

We just began blogging last week on classblogmeister! It was definitely chaotic, but the kids are loving it so far. I even had some blog from home and some even figured out how to leave comments (I hadn't gotten there yet). I'm excited about using it throughout the year in all areas of the curriculum. We will be posting our collaborative math project on each student's blog next!

Also, not sure how I ever lived without a smartboard....

Laurie,

Please share the link to your blog again. I am sure many of the Global Learners would love to comment on student writing. It would be cool to show the students how to write in word first and check their readability statistics (they show up after spell and grammar check is completed if the option is selected in word). Students might track how their readability changes over the year (maybe even graph it...integrated lesson). Looking forward to reading your blog.

I'm glad you are loving and using your Smart board so much! You've also helped me learn some new tricks. Gracias! I am looking forward to seeing your math projects.

Nice work on starting your blog! I bet our reading buddies can do some great blogging comments back and forth...Future idea?

In classblogmeister, students are able to see their spelling as they type - red line underneath misspelled words. My kids almost FEAR the red line under their words.
