Thing 3 - Register Blog

Everywhere you turn people are blogging and posting things. I really haven't heard middle school students talking about blogs, but maybe they could be introduced. Since I am a librarian it would be a great way to share opinions and reviews about the Lone Star books or any book the student has read. They could encourage others to read some of their favorites just like on Amazon.

It could also be a way to share information when doing the research project in ICT. Our students do a project in the fall on various types of social issues. They could post some websites that they find with current and statistical data.

Unfortunately, a draw back to blogging is access to the sites which are blocked at school and students cannot get in. Part of my initial frustration was having to override everything at school. It is much easier when you don't have to do that.
