Blogging

A link to our classroom blog will be added here in the future.

Blogging has quickly become a trend among all age groups, but it is growing faster among youth than any other age group. We will begin using a blog in our classroom as a tool to extend our learning and empower our use of technology.

The students will be participating in a class blog for the purposes of: 

·      Encouraging the process of writing for an audience

·      Practicing narrative, poetic, informative, and persuasive writing

·      Sharing and evolving ideas that facilitate interaction and collaboration

·      Engaging students in conversation and learning

·      Sharing opinions, points of view on a topic

·      Sharing classroom events and happenings with families and the wider community

·      Fostering an understanding of Global Awareness, communication and collaboration

·      Connecting with others both inside and outside the classroom and encouraging Global communication previously not possible

·      Reflection, expression and evaluation of own learning
