The first blog I picked was a professor by the name of Anne Davis. She works for Georgia State University as an Information Systems Training Specialist in the College of Education. She has lots of different projects going on and one of them was visiting fourth and fifth graders at an elementary school. She introduced them to blogging and they loved it! She said that she was very impressed with both of the grades at how well they picked up everything. The students have their own blogs and anyone can go and read them. http://itc.blogs.com/newsquest/
The second blog I found was a first grade teacher named Kathy Cassidy. At first I was a little confused because I didn't know how in the world a first grader was going to "blog" but as I read the entries I started to understand it. What the teacher did was she selected a topic, then she asked the student what they thought about the topic and she helped them type it out on the computer and then finally she put at the end what the first grader was trying to say. She did an excellent job! You can read the blog entries at this website-Click Here

Hi Ashley,
I'm glad that you liked my grade one blog! I'm actually in Canada, though, not the USA.
You're off to a great start blogging. I hope you keep it up after the class is over.
By the way, I don't asign a topic for the students in my class--they can write about whatever they chose, but if their writing is not legible to readers, I add an editor's note. At the end of the year, they have a whole portfolio of their writing progress through grade one.
Wow, thanks for posting a comment. Your the first person who has posted a comment on my page. Yes I'm still new to this whole blogging thing, but I'm getting the hang of it.
