Thinking About Learning

It’s a great feeling to finish a huge project!!! We have been working about a month on these digital stories. We celebrated today with a popcorn party as we viewed our stories. Even though it proved to be a very time-consuming project, we used many different technology tools to produce real world products. The knowledge that they were producing stories to share with a world-wide audience made an impression on my students. Tomorrow they are going to post entries describing their stories on their individual blogs on blogmeister. I’ve already put a link to the stories on our blogmeister homepage. We hope that people will take time to post comments about the stories. My students are just beginning to learn how to write effective comments. I developed a lesson about crafting comments for my 5th graders after viewing Lani Hall’s fantastic presentation, “Second Nature-Extending Dialogue in the Blogosphere,” during the K12 Online Conference.

Here’s the thank you video, Wes!
