Blogging

For the last two years I have enjoyed introducing my students to the world of blogging. Published work takes on a new meaning when people from all over the world can leave comments and give feedback. Students can post their essays and stories by typing them directly onto the blog. Handwritten works and illustrations can be scanned and displayed as images within the blog post. With programs like Sketchcast, Prezi, and Vocaroo, students can also post amazing presentations!

Here is an example of an elementary blog from Healthfield CPS - Year 5 Class Blog

This is a kindergarten site with fun student work - Kindergarten Tales

I designed this blog to showcase student work and to discuss literature - Ink Slingers & Bookworms

With free sites like Blogger and Word Press, blogging is easy and affordable. Students will love publishing their work online and waiting for comments! I know I do.

Welcome to Our Blog!

Howdy kiddos! Welcome to our class blog. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Mrs. Sol and I am a K-8 teacher for online schools in Washington. If you found this blog, I bet you are in my class this year! To find out more about me or to read about our exciting class program, check out our class website.

This year, we will use this blog as a fun way to communicate with one another. As you may already know, weekly communication between teacher and student is very important. A blog is an easy way to keep in touch while learning about your virtual classmates!

Every Monday, I will post an activity, a question, or a sample of student work on this blog. Sometime during the week, please leave a comment using only your first name. It will be fun to see what other students have written as well!

Are you ready to join the blogging world? Check your k-mail for blogging directions. Then stay tuned for our first official post next week!

Blog ya later,
