Thing 1: Blogging

My name is Michelle McComb and I am a fifth grade teacher in the Averill Park school district. I am taking this course along with our school's library media specialist. We are hoping to collaborate on many of the activities. I have had very limited exposure to blogs and would like to learn more about them and how to use them in my classroom. My students did use a blog last year to facilitate some discussions and they really enjoyed it. I can see where you can use blog for many purposes in the classroom. I can already see that there are a lot of great ideas out there. It took me a while to get this one up and running, but I think it probably gets easier the more you do it. We used Edublog last year so I will probably try that again with the kids this year.
