Welcome back! I hope you have had a wonderful summer.



Have you ever thought that sometimes after you have put so much work into doing a great job on an assignment, it doesn't seem fair that the teacher is the only one who gets to see it?



Have you ever wished your friends and family could enjoy your work as well?



This year you will have some opportunity to change this. (At least on a few of your assignments :-) You will have the chance to BLOG!



Smile, it is going to be fun.

Have your read any great books lately! Have you read a book that you think others in your class might enjoy? Why don't you BLOG a book review? Give us enough information about the book without giving away the ending. Also be sure to give us the title, the author and if it is found in our school library.



Have a great read!

I'm very interested in the variety of ways other teachers have used Blogs (Web Logs) with or for their students. Here are some Blog samples or ideas that I found interesting.



* Grade One class [LINK]



* Computer Teacher uses for Keyboarding practice [LINK]



* Students Diary of Fang a stuffed Tasmanian Devil from Tasmania [LINK]



* Writers' Workshop [LINK]



* Teacher Experimenting [LINK]



* Reading, Thinking and Writing about the news (gr 4) [LINK]



*Sample using different format but the basic idea could be adapted in Blogmeister [LINK]



* Article about young students and their use of Blogs making a big difference in their achievement in school [LINK]



* A collection of thoughts about Blogs [LINK]
