small progress each day
Whew! I am excited that I was able to create this blog. I have no experience using blog. Am I living in the Flintstone ages? I wonder if my students (our students in my school) have blogged. I have heard of the term blog from the morning news cast that I watch. They ask viewers to blog on a topic. I thought it was people going online and posting their opinions. I am excited to learn about blogs and how to use them with my class. One problem that will occur is that my students are so young that they are not able to spell proficiently and some are not able to write in complete phrases/statements. Several questions I would like to have answered at the end of this course are: What is blogging? How can I incorporate blogging into my curriculum? Are my students too young to participate in blogging? Am I able to create a blog and have my students respond to it as an assessment? So, without avail - LET THE BLOGGING BEGIN!

I too have lots of questions. Having taught k, 1st, and 2nd grade it seems that people think that all the "new" and exciting stuff is too much for the younger kids. I'm looking forward to talking about how the younger kids can use this. What about as a type of ongoing portfolio; where their growth can be monitored and saved?
You could always use the buddy system. Have older students write what they younger students are telling them.
