How I plan to use blogs in my classroom

I would like to set up blogs for my classroom and have each student tell us about their life. This will get the students ready for the real work when we use blogs in other content areas.

We are a third grade class so many of these concepts are very new to them. Teaching them about blogs with enhance this lesson by showing them how we use a blog. It will enhance other lessons by letting each student respond to a book talk without one person telling everything and others sitting in the back doing nothing.
Blogs remind me of a great quote I try to remember about my class "Those who are talking are doing the learning." If that is the teacher all the time, she is learning. If that is one student, that one is learning. If all are talking, all are learning.

Students will tell about their lives and then they can "talk" or respond to others blogs.

Everyone Here is a Teacher and a Learner!

I am a teacher and a learner! Here I am learning a lot!!
