Blogging:
Communicating.
Creating.
Sharing.
Exploring.
Thinking.

Welcome to the world of classrooms today.  With the many technological advances taking place within our schools, children are being provided with more ways than ever to communicate with their teachers, peers, and others from around the globe.  Evidently, teachers who spend the most time teaching their students how to properly and effectively blog, have the most success.  Blogging provides students with the opportunity to reflect on their learning by achieving curricular standards in new ways.  With creativity, students are able to showcase their best work that will reach an audience beyond the classroom setting.  Blogging allows students the opportunity to respond to blog posts, to carry a conversation, and most importantly, interact with with others.  Students are able to develop a sense of global awareness through blogging.  Many blogging sites such as The Global Read Aloud, allows students to report responses to a common text while collaborating globally with students.  Participating in a blog like this allows students to understand how students from different countries interpret a common work of literature.
