As a teacher it is so great to see, hear, or read how kids express their learning. Having a class blog is a great way for other teachers and parents to see what the students are learning each week. This is especially great for the parents who ask their kids what they are learning and all they get the answer "nothing". I decided to check out a few different class blogs. I found it interesting to see the ways that teachers set theirs up. The one that stood out the most to me was Ms. Cassidy's Classroom Blog. I loved how on the home page of the blog Ms. Cassidy posts what her class was working on and how to see more, check out the students individual blogs. I checked out a few and loved that it was more than just writing a blog post but rather incorporating technology with writing. Each student creates a video that they upload as their blog post explaining what they have learned. One of my favourites was a young Hailey put together a video on Lady Bugs. I loved how she included music to help catch the viewers attention. Here is a picture of the post I left for Hailey:
In my future classroom I would love to set up a blog similar to Ms. Cassidy's classroom blog. I really like how the students are able to create their own posts, on their own pages that are linked to the classroom blog. By posting what the students have learned allows them to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. It is also a great way for parents to know what is going on in the classroom!
