Paula Naugle
I have been blogging with my 4th graders since the 2010-2011 school year. I use kidblog.org as our blogging platform. I am not an ELA teacher, so I have used blogging as a way to have my students reflect on their math learning. So far this year my students have used their blogs for their science reports. media type="custom" key="22298790"
