Thing #3

I would love for my students to be able to use blogging in my Language Arts class. The only problem is that most of my students don't have Internet access at home. I could set up a time in the mornings before school starts for the students to come into the computer lab and access my blog.
I would love to have a book club blog! I looked at the EduBlog and I really like the idea of putting examples to work that I have assigned on my blog. That would be very helpful to all students and parents! I know that many of my parents have access to a computer at work, so I could have information about school and assignments. Really the ideas are limitless! I'm so excited about blogging!

I think your book club idea is a great one. Don't discount using a blog because students don't have access to computers. Libraries are usually open before and after school at least some of the time and how many kids just gather around in the halls during lunch or before or after school? They could take 5 minutes one day a week to log on and write a little something.

Kids also have access at friends' homes or at their parents' place of work.

I am not a teacher but I am a parent and your ideas for a book club blog and a blog for parents to see assignments and examples of successfully completed assignments are super and exactly what we need when a child asks for help at 11pm.;) This was my first year to work in education and I am so excited about all of you fired-up educators!
