Blogging...To Do or Not to Do...
I have gained a new appreciation for blogging and for technology savvy people through this semester. At the beginning of the semester when I was informed that we were going to be blogging, honestly, I sighed a big sigh. I really did not understand why people blogged and what they blogged about. However, through this semester, I have reached an understanding of why people blog and how I can incorporate this concept into my classroom.
I believe that writing is really important, for any age level. However, I believe that students do not all learn in the same way or like to express themselves in the same way. With that being said, I believe that blogging would be a great alternative for writing assignments and assessments. Some people, as I have witnessed through this experience, really thrive off of blogging and some people cannot seem to get in tune with their blogging side. Having this experience, I have realized that in my classroom, requiring students to blog would not be a good idea because some students would not like to respond in this way.

Comments on Children's Writing through Blogs...
The first writing I read was from a student that kept her message short and sweet. A good teacher means...
Another writing I read was a student's response to Brain Pop videos. Oh how the GACE made me watch sooo many of these...
Lastly, I read a student's writing about a book that he had read, "The Enormous Egg". He made me think!
Reading children's writing is something that I love to do. I can just imagine the joy they experience to have a new person respond to their writing!
