I never thought of using a blog in the elementary classroom before, but it is such a great way to get connected with your students and for them to get connected with each other in more meaningful way than through social networking. Their conversations will be deeper and more thought provoking if they revolve around subject matter or what they read. I will be interested to see how they interact with the text using this format. Will they discuss connections, predictions and inferences that they make? Will they draw on others experiences as they do in the classroom setting? I found the Heisey video informative regarding how to use this in the classroom.
This process was time consuming, but the templates and direction helped a lot. I did want to add a picture, but was running out of time. I can do that later. The Blogger tutorial helped a lot to get me started.
