9th grade bloggers!

Checking in with Tanya's 5th hour class yesterday in the computer lab, I found all but one of the 38 students actively engaged in blogging about their art choices. A couple students had even posted more than once during the class period about their chosen piece of art!! A very well-designed lesson kept them engaged; blogging gives each one a chance to report and express his/her own personality in the process. Something I hadn't considered is the fact that the teacher can instantly respond to student work through comments on their blog posts. It's really fun to see what the students have posted about their art projects!

This is exciting! I borrowed an airport from school & finally figured out how to hook it up at home! Now I can use my laptop on my main floor, even though all my connections are in the basement. I can watch TV at the same time I am blogging. This will also give me the opportunity to practice with my iPod touch upstairs, where I really do all my living. It's much more pleasant to do this while I multi-task my life.
