Thing #3

Since I teach 5th Grade Science, I could easily use blogging to direct my students to current events in Science, ask them questions in class and allow them to blog their opinion as a part of their discussion, or for my student to just ponder about things they are learning in Science.

For my Quest students, with parent permission of course, I could set a blog up for them, and allow them to discuss topics among themselves. I could also require them to comment on varying opinions and things that have been brought up in class. (WOW...I just came up with an above and beyond lesson for my Quest kids...woohoo!)

For children who are not in Quest, but love to journal or just need an outlet to relieve stress, a blog is a good place to start. I got into blogging because I am a person who holds my anger in and it lead to stress and some chest pains. After that scare, I took some advice that I give my students, and I began to write it down. First in a journal (really spiral notebooks) and then I found a blog site for people like me--those who need to take their own advice and let off some steam!
