Easiest Blogging Site I've Ever Seen!

By Anonymous -
This video explains how to set up blogs for students at kidblog.org.  It is the easiest, simplest blogging site I have ever found.  We are going to use this site for blogging about our weekends as well as blogging about our AR books.




One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that the settings tab allows you to change the privacy of your blogs.  It is set up automatically to be completely private and secure.

I LOVE this site. It is so easy. It only took me about 10 min. to set it up for my class. We are using this to journal about our AR books instead of the book log. The kids absolutely LOVE it. They can't wait to blog and read each other's posts. They are also writing wonderful comments - very positive affirming comments to each other. WOW! Thanks for sharing it. I am using this every day.

Wahoo - what's the saying, "better late than never?" We are up and running, and you're right - it's very easy. My only advice to future people when they post it is to be sure you're posting the login screen (i.e. if you post it on your website like I do) and not the blog itself - though I don't know if others could get in anyway - sounds pretty secure. Thanks for sharing it Deb! I can't wait to start using it. I like the idea of using it for AR comments.

Poetry Month is Right Around the Corner Are you getting ready for Poetry Month in April? If so, I have some resources to share with you for creating concrete poems. Concrete poems are words written in a shape to convey a poem. They look like this: Recently I went on a mission to search for a site to use with a fellow colleague and her students. They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click and drag f

Buncee is a Great Site I learned About This Past Summer If you are an educator I recommend going to edu.buncee.com  This is a free site that allows you to create a slideshow type presentation, but also can be used to blend learning for a lesson or even as a student portfolio or showcase. Your students will enjoy creating content with Buncee as well. When you first open a Buncee you are able to choose a background  from their gallery, from the web or upload an image of your own. Next you can choose from many different types of media to add objects to your page. Once your page is created you can add additional pages and view your Buncee in preview mode whenever you want. I love all of the options for adding media to your pages. The animations, drawings, videos, and stickers make your slides visually appealing. One of the richest types of media you can add is a 360 degree image from Buncee's gallery. These images allow the audience to click and scroll to view
