I have posted some benefits of blogging with elementary students.
Karen Lirenman. Check out the section on, Why Do We Learn On-line?
This will help with my presentation to parents about the benefits of blogging personally or in school.
We have a school pet frog named Jake. The have raised him in a terranium since September. I would like my students to learn how to blog about their care and maintenance of Jake and his home. It is a learning experience for them and this would be a great way to get the parents involved with their student's school life.
I like how you posted about the communication part with parents. It is important to get them on board for the blog to be successful!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea to use your pet to get the kids interested in the blog! How about an animoto on the life cycle of a frog :)
