Greetings students! We certainly had a great beginning! We were so proud of you. We could not have asked more from a class. You jumped right into the WebQuest full of enthusiasm and a sincere quest to learn. You listened so attentively as we browsed through the attributes of blogging. Reflect for a moment on each attribute:
Read.....
Question.....
Think.....
Write.....
Collaborate.....
Reflect.....
Commenting.....
Linking......
Next, we moved on to explore the "Blook on Blogging." It was so much fun watching your expressions and hearing your enthusiastic responses It was a delightful way to get an overview of the blogging experience directly from former fifth grade bloggers. After you read through the "blook" you put your shoulders to the wheel in your groups and began brainstorming about blogging. There was a steady "click, click, click" in the air as you captured your ideas on an Inspiration diagram. The 'rapid fire' tool was firing away. Wow, I could tell that you took in a lot about the process of blogging. We are going to celebrate the first day by publishing the four groups' brainstorms. You did this so well in a short amount of time. I think they are worthy of publishing. There are only a few minor errors that came from your quick typing. You may discover them as we recheck our work. You really picked up on some important aspects of blogging. Your thinking is impressive!
So, on with the Celebration.......<
