Parents and Students,
Welcome to the first ever blog by Mrs. Carter. Thanks to Mrs. Johnson, I have decided to try a blog in our class. So what exactly is a blog? Well, it is a journal that is online. It is a place where we can all share ideas and make suggestions. I hope that students as well as parents would be able to use this blog to understand more of what we are learning.
Students can respond at home, but there will also be time in class to respond during our literacy stations.
So, for our first discussion, what do you think about the idea of a class blog? Have you used one before? Was it helpful? What are some suggestions/concerns that you have about using a blog? Please share your ideas by clicking on the post above or you can click "comment" below. Parents, feel free to comment as well. Please be aware that comments must be approved by me before everyone is allowed to read them.
I have very limited experience blogging but think this will be a neat tool to use with your students.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out Mrs. Carter!
ReplyDeleteI have a little experience with blogging. I have friends who write blogs about their family life and travel experiences and I follow. One of my former 5th graders-- who is now a sophomore at UNC-- wrote a travel blog about his mission experiences in South America this summer. It was very interesting reading about his experiences and then posting questions I had. You know me. I'm full of questions!
My advice: Just jump in, write, and be mindful of your audience and purpose! We have to be responsible online-- just like we were having a face to face conversation.
Last year Mrs.Johnson shared a really cool Blog about this boy travling {walking} A long way I think from Florida to Virgina. So I have a little experense with blogs. I think this will be fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that haveing a class blog is cool.I have had a know what a blog is but I haven't got to use one.I've always wanted to use one because I can talk to my frends from my house.
ReplyDeleteHI EVERYONE!
I think an idea of a blog is fun. I have never had a blog. I honestly never heard about it.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of having a class blog. I have little experience with blogs so I will get a lot of experience in this blog. I just hope that nobody says something innappropiate for school that accidentaly get posted and everyone sees it. Don't put personal stuff that you know on this blog like your name or address.

ReplyDeleteI've never done this before so I don't know alot about class blogs. I think it will be really great too.This is my first time typing on a class blog.When I get more used to it it might be more easier in the middle of the year.
ReplyDeleteI probably wont use this alot in 4th grade. I will use this maybe for some homework.
ReplyDeleteI think this will be awsome.I've never used one before but i've seen one.Could you send a message to only one person?

ReplyDeleteHaveing class blog might be cool. My mom has a blog I think my brother logan go's on Face Book and tells me don't put any personle on it and you don't need to talk to people you don't know. I have a half blog it's on this game called Moshiemonsters and I only have people I know on my account.
ReplyDeleteI think this blog will be a great thing.Until to day I never had a blog.This is so COOL!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the class blog because you could hear what other people say. The I never had a blog before. Its cool to have a class blog because we might have a question about homework or we could write something that is confusing you. We could even talk about things in the weekend whenwe are not in school!!!!!
