Today was a very exciting day in our class. We finally got our classroom website up and running. There is a blog question on the site. Students must respond in writing to the question and then we conference together to get a "finished and fabulous" copy that is good enough to type onto the blog. 4 students managed to complete the answer and type it onto the blog. They were so motivated and very excited. One of the 4 was an IEP student, in grade 4 working at a Grade 1 Reading/Writing level. That was awesome.
Also on the site is the "Word of the Week" podcast. The students loved it and are motivated to learn new words and want to have a turn to be the "Word of the Week" announcer. This course has been very motivational to me and this made learning much more fun for the students in my class.
