b-l-o-g, blog. The first time I heard of the word blog was when my son Jack, now in 4th grade, was in first grade. His teacher set up a blog and showcased their writing pieces. It was so cool to see the writing Jack had been doing in class. Sometimes the writing was from a prompt or science lesson, and other times a follow up from a fieldtrip. After viewing the blog, we were able to leave comments. The class would check the blog at school and view the comments left by family members. They were so excited to see what family members had to say. I actually went back to the school website recently to see if the first grade blog was there, and it was! Thanks Mr. R. for introducing me to a blog.
I have to admit that creating my blog page has been fun. I chose a template, added a few pictures, and then wrote about my first blog experience. It was really easy! Soon, I will play around and learn how I can improve my design.
