Thing #4 Blogging

I really enjoyed reading some of the blogs that were written. I think about how easy it looks, yet when I think about my students I think it won't we that easy. Again, turn that problem into a challenge. Speaking of challenge, my class is a huge challenge from an autistic student to drug babies. Anyway, I think that blogging will really work with my students. I can't wait.

I enjoyed the blog titled Is this SSR 2.0? I felt as if he were looking into my classroom. Trying to get students to sit and read quietly is very hard. Mark Ahlness took a different approah by letting students read blogs during SSR. They could read the blogs that he had set up of other people and then students from his own classroom. Some of the comments were made that teachers also let students work on their blogs during SSR. Writing and reading connect so well.

I'm with you on the SSR 2.0 . . . my students have little interest in the books that I want to read with them. I'm definitely trying this soon!
