Now that I have an understanding of blogging, and how it works, I can think of many ways to use it in the classroom. I would like to someday have a classroom blog where parents can log onto the Internet and check out what we are doing in the classroom. I think this would be a great way to build a stronger connection between home and school.
I could also have (older)students read a story, and journal about it in a blog format. This way, students can view one another's entries and comment on them.
I also think it would be really exciting to blog with another classroom, or even another school. This would give students the chance to hear the views of others outside of their own classroom.
On the note of Digital Storytelling, I hope everyone is doing well with their stories. I am finding that coming up with what I am going to say is a difficult task. I am creating a story on Jewish history, so the research aspect makes it more difficult as well. I can't wait to get to the actual movie making!

I'm finding just the act of starting my digital story daunting. I have the research, I have the photos, but I don't have the words I will say. It must be the college student in me dreading the beginning of a long road of homework!
Thanks for sharing your ideas for blogging, some interesting alternatives to get parents and students communicating! It is an interesting avenue for writing and reflection!
