Wow! I think its great not only that you’ve incorporated blogging with your students, but the excitement and learning they’re gaining from it! I’ve always thought about trying blogging in my classroom, but I wondered what exactly I’d have them blog about. After reading this post, I realized it really isn’t the topic, but their interest in what occurs that matters. I agree that blogging is a

Hi Diego,
The students learned the concept of blogging very quickly. I showed them other student blogs first, so that helped give them some background knowledge before they started. There was only one student who wasn't excited about it, but after she received her first comment she changed her mind!
I am sure blogging would give a shy secondary student a chance to voice their

Hi, Diane. I'm Diego and I am a pre-service teacher. I was wondering how quickly did your students learn the concept of blogging? Did all of them like the idea of it?

Diane, this is a great way to get all your students involved in class. I'm a pre-service teacher and i never really thought about getting students involved in blogs because usually students like me would use things their teachers have used to get them involved. Even though I'm a secondary teacher, do you think using a blog in a secondary education class make the class more involving for

Oona,
To exchange comments with other teachers or classes, make a blog post on your class blog titled something like 'blogging pals' and include links to other blogging classes you find. (You can find some on my class blogs at http://kidblog.org/mrsdahlclass4). That will give your students links for leaving comments.

Also be sure to leave your class blog address at http:/

Love it!! I admire what your doing with your students and I'm a big fan of you on twitter (does @maha9313 ring a bell :)).

I'm teaching prospective primary school teachers about web 2.0 tools in the classroom and I'm definitely recommending your blog post for reading.

they've already seen your students posts during class and they were surprised at the way

This is a great post. Encouraging commenting (and receiving comments)is a neat way to make writing and reading authentic worthwhile experiences for kids. It makes their eyes shine-they all love to see their names in print.
I type up my children's stories in one blog post as we don't have access to our computer lab often.
Do you think there is a way to network with other

Very nice. I knew your blog by a Twitter post from Francesco Arleo and I'm reproducing this in my blog. Here we're doing something like you in our schools. I hope to be in contact. Leo
