As we head into the final turn of 6th grade for the Class of 2013, I am peeking ahead to the next school year (just a smidge).
Something that I am pondering is creating a multi-layered blog. I want to keep one similar to this blog, but I am also pretty sure that developing a blog to take the place of my homework web page might be a smart idea. In this way, students would only have to find one web site and receive all the information necessary to help them be successful in my English class.
Here are just a couple of examples of fairly decent designs for middle school blogs: BDS Middle School and Eric MacKnight.com. Check them out, and let me know what you think of the idea.
Remember, responding to the postings in cyberspace is virtually the same as adding your voice to classroom discussion. Take your words seriously, and people will take you seriously.
Nothing bears the power of words–choose yours with care.
