About the Blog

This blog is used to integrate technology into the classroom and put technology at the students’ fingertips. The blog can be used for multiple reasons. With this blog, students can use kid safe websites to research, create, and publish. Students can respond to questions in reading, math and science. Students can publish writing and share their writing with the outside world. Student centered learning through the blog is endless. The blog provides a link between the classroom and the real world.

The blog also keeps parents informed on student learning. Parents have access to lesson plans and student posted work. Parents can also be kept informed through updates posted through the blog. In addition, Parents will also have the option of commenting on the students' writing; demonstrating to students that their thoughts and ideas reach the outside world.

The blog will also be used as a part of the classroom management. A link to the side labeled "mistakes" is a way for students to reflect on mistakes made and gives me, the teacher, a private record.

I strongly believe in student centered learning and integrating it with the use of technology.

  1. Whoa! This blog looks exactly like my old one!

    It's on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Superb choice of colors!
