School Blogs

I visited a Jackson Elementary School located in Camden, South Carolina where a fifth grade teacher has introduced blogging to her class. Her student’s take turns taking the class’s stuffed bear home and then they blog on the internet what experiences they shared with Barry the bear. They have discussed everything from politics to September 11. The really neat part is when the students write the blogs they write as if Barry the bear is telling of the adventure he had with the student. I think this is a great creative way to get the students into blogging. If you want to check out Mrs. Edwards class blog here’s the site
