Blogging Beginning

Blogging is new to me. I began two blogs this year for my students and for the parents of my first and third grade classes. On those blogs I have been updating parents on what we've been doing in class. I've been uploading some pictures for them to see as well. I've posted links to educational sites as well as posted some of the work we've been doing in class. I started a Book Club with my third graders where they can write about the books that they are reading. I added a Wiki about Character traits from The Wizard of Oz, and my students have been adding traits as we are reading the novel. It has been a wonderful experience for me and I am learning a lot while I am working on it. I find myself looking at my literature units and trying to come up with ways to incorporate technology into them. While that is more of a blog for my students and parents to use, I am looking forward to discussing ideas here and getting feedback from other teachers.
