My experience with using the edublog while reading the book, "Number the Stars", has been immensely positive and informative. I learned how to effectively participate in a literature circle and also how to look at other readers' points of view. The book that we were given to read proved to be a great tool to use in the classroom for integrating literature into other content areas. I discovered that the edublog could be a great alternative way to conduct book discussions with the students, aside from the traditional classroom literature lessons. Students would love to work on the computer when sharing their thoughts and findings on various books, which would ulitmately spark motivation.
Overall, I believe that this experience has given me great insight on how I could effectively use this project for literature ideas and content integration in my future classroom. I enjoyed sharing the book with my fellow classmates and commend all of them on their participation and thoughtfulness with the edublog literature circles. I look forward to using this experience as a resource when conducting literature circles in the classroom.
