The directions are easy: Upload your files from your desktop, edit and view your docs from any computer or smart phone. This is a great resource for teachers and students as the students can work on an assignment from their computer at home and the teacher can access it and see how they are doing.

I have used this for my 5th graders. We have our own web page, and I can put links and assignments on it for them to access. I actually have it set as the home page on all of the desktops in my classroom.

ReadWriteThink is a collection of lesson plans and interactive student tools that support K-12 literacy learning. These resources are a fantastic opportunity for students to use technology as a tool to learn. These are great activities for students to use as Reading Responses. If you have one or two computers in your classroom, use one of the activities as a Center and rotate students. If you have access to a mobile lab or computer lab, each student can spend more time with the activities.

I just tried this one and will have to see if it is blocked at school or not. I think it would be interesting to use with students if it isn't blocked. It presents a prompt for you to respond to. For example, I just responded to the prompt, "Describe when you have used something for a purpose other than its intended one." Even if it is blocked at school, I could still use it to get prompts for my students to blog about. Since I sometimes get creative block for coming up with prompts, this could be really helpful.

I think Blogger is a great tool for students and teachers to use. I love having a free spot to speak my mind and be able to connect with others in (and out) of education. I have a plan to start having my students blog about the books that they are reading as a way to document their reading towards our 25 book campaign.
