assignment 5

While searching the internet, I came across an eighth grade teacher's blog called Eight Grade Integrated Technology Classes.. On his site, he had each of his classes make their own blog. You could click on each class and see their diary of building a computer. They posted a blog each time they completed a new task in building their computers. I think this is a good blog because you could see the students really enjoyed making the blog by the creativity and time they put into their blogs. This also gave parents the opportunity to see what their children were doing at school. This a link to his blog: http://itsvms8.blogspot.com/
I also came across another blog, Miller's English10 Classroom Blog. Mr. Miller uses his classroom blog in a different way than the first blog I saw. Mr.Miller's blog is used for instructions and assignments for his students. He also post current events and news for them. This is a great way for preparing high school students getting ready to enter college. There are not too many university level classes that do not require some type of online interaction these days. Also, just about every vocation or career will require these kids to be internet savvy, and they are well on their way to that. Here is a link to Mr. Miller's blog if you would like to check it out: http://millersenglish10.blogspot.com/
