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 ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
