The Blogging Journey begins
So far I have only been a consumer of information found on blogs and not a creator; however this year was the year to change. Since I had visited many blogs in the past, I was aware of some possible applications for them in my classroom. As a starting spot, I decided to create a homework blog where students can check on their homework assignments, ask questions, and post special events on our shared calendar. I understand that according to Richardson this is not real blogging but it’s a start (Richardson, 2010). Below is an example of how our blog looks and the type of things that we blogged on.

We quickly started using our classroom blog to share pictures of special events with parents at home. Below you will see some images from our blog showing Marty Chan’s visit, a visit from Father Michael Mireau and some projects that we have been working on.
Needless to say my students and parents fell in love with this blogging and wanted more. We have since setup many more blogs on topics were meaningful to students. Below you will see screen captures from our fun blog that is student centered and created, everything you will see is made by students for students:
