Good intentions

I began this blog with intentions to use it with my students on a daily basis during guided reading and center time. The kids would rotate each day so they'd have one day per week to read and reply to the blog. Unfortunately I haven't been able to try it because the students are only in third grade. I do think it would be a powerful tool that would help strengthen their writing, technology, and creative thinking skills. Even if I'm unable to use it with my students, creating this blog has been a learning experience for me. I feel more confident and comfortable as I've customized it and added the gadgets.
