Blog from Others Students

In this excert, i witnessed the use of blogging for a 5th grade class. This instructor completely uses this blog technique for every day use in his class room. I like the set up of his title page which is easy on the eyes. One facet i like is the listing of all the students in his class on the left menu bar for easy click and view accessibility. Mr. Johnston of Sandaig Primary School uses his Primary Seven S. He expresses that use of this tool allows even the shy kids to express themselves and well as recruit help from classmates to help a fellow student complete their assignment. He catalogs his use of blogs by each class as primary 6 or primary 7 blog and communicate with the students in a user friendly tone and method. Posting students work on the blog as the winners of contests build a good competitive environment that allows the students to produce their best because it's their reflection of themselves. Yes, see for yourself that his page is a good beginner example of a blog to put into ready use for any classroom.
