3W Learns Something New

Blogging

Today was a very exciting day in 3W.  We have officially turned into bloggers!  This morning, with the help from our 4G , we got an introduction to blogging.  This year I will be using a site called Kidblogs.  Blogging allows students to publish their work for an authentic audience.  Furthermore, students can explore other Kidblogs and respond with comments or questions.

An important thing parents should know about our Kidblog site is that it is totally moderated by me.  No post or comment will show up on the site unless I have personally previewed and approved it.

An equally important thing for parents to know is that because of the moderation set up, our Kidblog site is visible to everyone. Our students will have a real worldwide audience, and I am sure that comments will be coming in from everywhere.

Lastly, the students are well aware of their responsibility and safety on the Internet.  I could tell from our discussion they know to never use the Internet without permission.  Moreover, the students understand they can only use first names in their posts.  Again, I will approve all posts and comments for appropriateness and user safety.

Your child has their own password and will be able to show you how this works. We are at the beginning stages of this so there is a lot to remember and learn.
