blogging with your class. Includes more links to additional resources and ideas for blogging with your students

Until recently classes were sent to the library to check out pre-selected books that would have some information about their topic. Allowing students to search for their information on the web makes teachers often uncomfortable. * They can't control the content, students encounter * Overwhelming number of search results * Inappropriate sites * Inaccurate information * Citation All the above mentioned reasons are valid points, but can't be used as a reason to "stick to the book" when allowing younger students to research. We do have to prepare them for research in media that is current for our times and one they most likely will use as as their primary source for gathering information as they grow.

Great ways to take the traditional visual thinking routines and update for the modern classroom.

A great blogpost about using "chat channels" with primary school students but for that matter with any students.
