You could tell how much the boy enjoyed "Bearstone" from the sound of his voice. By the way, what is an AR book? What an AWESOME idea!

I was surprised at the ease with which they went together. I had forgotten what a neat program Audacity was and what a jewel it was for those of us who do not consider ourselves particularly "tech savy." The kids were very excited to begin their podcasts.

The comments on the post range from "I've never heard of that" to "Do you like curried goat as well?". Very interesting conversations...The principal made a visit to our "Blogosphere" and posted some comments as well. Hooray for a principal who wants to participate in the conversation!

It appears as though the blog is a major success. In this day and age, resources have become available to us at the simple click of a button. With the non-stop pace of technological advances, I think it is very important for people to stay up to date with the resources. I would agree with "Book' that a technology blogging workshop would be very beneficial. The concept of blogging in and of itself is very intriguing and puts a whole new twist on writing and communication. Making teachers, parents, and students aware of this resource can open waves of communication in and out of the classroom! I enjoyed browsing your website.

It makes me think of a session I attended at the Reading Conference last year. Kids love post-its. And you took it a step further and integrated it into blogging. And kids love blogging! You rock!

I love the pictures. I'd love to be able to read what sparked so many comments on the orange post in the second picture! I wonder if you could have your "experienced" students giving the training session for the adults--perhaps parents, teachers, and those administrators who might not know exactly what blogging is--wouldn't that be just the ticket! The original idea for this lesson plan came from a person trying to explain to adults what a blog is, so it's coming full circle (from adult to student and back to adult). I wonder, if your students would be able to be the ones to lead a small paper blogging workshop--that would really help them start sharing important technology conversations with the adults in their lives. I've really been grateful that my own children have kept me up to date on the technology in their lives-it's a wonderful way to keep in touch with my children's online worlds! Bravo! Thanks for posting the pictures, and congratulations for accomplishing so many learning objectives. ~Book Wow! I love the pictures.

Somehow writing isn't writing when it's done on the computer. I'm going to finish the blogging activity with the second group today. I was really impressed with their responses on Monday. Mrs. Bright came in Monday afternoon to see the "Blogosphere." We talked about the difference between the large post-its (posts) and the small ones (comments). I think the TRT's might want to consider a mini training session for administrators as there may be many out there who do not know exactly what blogging is and how it can be used in the classroom.
