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 fabulous to read! Wow, 38 students ...
It is so exciting to see a roomful of students actively engaged the way that you describe! I am sure that a large part of it was how carefully and creatively the two of you set up the assignment.
Hello Susan B., I need to talk to you about my class of 46 7th graders. As soon as testing is over and we can get back into the lab, I really want to do this with them. Any help, tips, etc. you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
