Writing on a Blog

Today, the students went to our classroom blog to quick write about a memorable event with a loving pet. We are seeing if it is another way to write. The students are trying to see if they are more comfortable writing in a journal with a pencil or with a netbook online.

Glogster

My students will be using Glogster for their Explorer project this year instead of doing it on regular posterboard. They needed to explore Glogster on before using it for their project, so their assignment was to create a glog all about themselves. Students loved Glogster and many continued working on their Glogs from home.

I'm glad we were able to explore beforehand because we found out that sometimes it will keep loading and loading and nothing happens. Students also found out the hard way sometimes it does not save. While saving it continued to load and load with no final message saying it was saved. I wasn't sure if this problem was a "Glogster problem" or a problem with our connection.

I told my students that when they start their Explorer glog they will need to save often!! It was a good learning experience for them. Keep checking back for their Explorer glogs.
