Success! And it is about time. I attempted a blog a few years ago while travelling in China. My mistake was attempting to start the blog while I was in China! I did not give myself the time or comforts of my home computer to start blogging and therefore had some difficulty, gave up, and sent emails throughout the trip. I have always thought about starting a blog in my classroom but always found an excuse not to see it through.
I had some trouble creating the Voki Avatar. I received the error message "Saving failedundefined" several times. I will try again next time I attempt the "11 tools".
I think that both the blog and avatar will be useful in my classroom. The blog will be a new way for students to share their ideas and research they find on topics we cover within class. They can journal, share notes/strategies, and include final products on the blog.
Avatar has been added! I always wanted a Scottish accent :)
ReplyDeleteI like class blogs because they keep they keep the kids up to date and because it encourages even the most shy kid to respond to a blog.
