ED 505- Blog Reviews

This is my last ED 505 assignment, besides the final!!  Woohoo!  For this assignment, we had to review four blogs from this website http://theedublogger.com/check-out-these-class-blogs/

Kinderkids-Kindergarten Blog

I picked this blog because I teach kindergarten, and I wanted to see all the cute things and ideas I could borrow. The blog itself is very colorful and stimulating. It’s also very neatly organized. I loved how see not only used pictures to display the students’ work, but she used videos. There is one activity I will be using next year in my classroom. It was the Apple Project for a unit on Johnny Appleseed. Click here to see the project.
 
Mrs. Poulin's Blog


This blog is fabulous! I love how the teacher updates the blog every week. It’s such a great tool for parents to use to keep up with what their children are doing in school. The teacher posts her weekly newsletters on the blog. Click here to view one of the newsletters. 

Mrs. Nessman's Grade Ones


A great idea that I’d love to start in my classroom is her “Photographer of the Day.” That’s such a great way to capture moments in the classroom. If I ever have a class blog, this is what mine would look like! Wow, such a cute and simple blog! The first thing that I caught my eye was all the pictures of the childrens’ work. And one project really stood out. I love art and craft projects. “Our Plump and Perky Turkeys” is such a great project for students to complete during the month of November. Click here to see the students’ creative turkeys!

Mr. P. Teach Tech
 


When I saw this blog was for a technology class, I though as soon as I clicked on it, I would be blown away with awesome graphics, sounds, etc. I was very disappointed. The homepage was very bland and boring. And when I clicked on the different grade levels, I was hoping for a change. The only thing on the blog were websites.
