Blog Can Be Used to Support Teaching and Learning!

I really enjoyed the Daffodil Delight activity http://rakes.blogspot.com/ . This online project allowed not only collaboration between classrooms but also taught a lesson in teamwork. The students in these classes got the benefit of hands on learning and the satisfaction of seeing a job completed from start to finish. This was also a fun way for the children to learn how things grow, parts of a flower, and so on. This project was well ropunded and seemed to be a big success. I was, however, disappointed to see the large number of disturbing posts that had no place there. The performance indicators that would be met here include:

Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.

Collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation.

  1. Good choice of performance indicators! It is disturbing to see those comments. I think they came from spammers. That is why we need to turn on the feature that requires users to enter a code before posting a comment. Would you consider doing a blog activity in your future classroom despite the inappropriate comments?
