You're our guinea pig so you have to keep us posted on how it's working out for you and your students. I'm too chicken to just jump in. I'd be afraid I couldn't keep up especially since I'd have to do it with all the 5th graders.

There isn't a link to access the blog because it's through Blackboard only. I will give you my password so you can get on.<br />Cara, I wouldn't mind opening it up to all third grade but again, it would have to be through Blackboard. Thanks Kristen. I totally agree with you that future can only tell how this is all going to play out. So far, I have not seen any improvements in their editing skills! :( I'll let you know as soon as I see improvements. :)Kay Whanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650094323857196716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1419866369478158768.post-75550759016781015632010-10-21T18:59:51.762-07:002010-10-21T18:59:51.762-07:00Congrats Kay!!!

I am sure that you will have many, many more topics that you will create greater thinking from your third graders. <br /><br />I am curious to know if you do see some growth in them with their blogging. Do you continue to see positive feedback? Do your mini-lessons on editing pay off in the future?<br /><br />Only the future can tell us!!!Kristen McCannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1419866369478158768.post-32089329125113718282010-10-21T15:17:55.714-07:002010-10-21T15:17:55.714-07:00It sounds like the kids are really enjoying bloggi...It sounds like the kids are really enjoying blogging! That is terrific. I am wondering if you could open that up to all of the third grade students?? It would interesting to hear the comments and conversations between the classrooms. Just a thought!C.

It could be a great way for me to get to know my 450 students better. Perhaps I can post an artist's work and children can interpret it in their own words. <br /><br />It would be interesting to hear their "voices" in a discussion about the various ways they are moved (or not) by the art. It would also be a good place for me to let students and parents know about the different art venues NJ and NY to see art and sculpture. Maybe the students can even write reviews about art they have seen...... Keep us posted; may we have the link? It sounds fun, and it also sounds like a lot of work.... ....maybe I'll tackle itafter I've unpacked another hundred cartons!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10299254169564527194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1419866369478158768.post-42419168350467797482010-10-18T19:42:52.526-07:002010-10-18T19:42:52.526-07:00Thanks, Shawn and Colleen, for your encouraging wo...Thanks, Shawn and Colleen, for your encouraging words. I'll keep you guys posted on how things go, especially with kids' "netiquettes." I would also be more than happy to help you Colleen, if you are interested in starting a Blackboard community in your classroom. You'd need to talk to Maria Narciso first from the district, but I wouldn't mind coming to your class to help you get started. It may be quite a stretch to have blogging in the first grade... however I know you'd be able to handle it Colleen! :)Kay Whanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650094323857196716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1419866369478158768.post-35739544338189995022010-10-18T18:14:28.899-07:002010-10-18T18:14:28.899-07:00Kay- I am very impressed with your endeavor!

I agree that your students will learn so much from the authentic tasks you provide. I also have fears about how well they would be able to handle all of the "netiquette" as you said.
