More than Just a Blog: “American Indians In Children’s Literature”
by Debbie Reese
The article “More Than Just a Blog” by Debbie Reese interested me because she is telling about her journey in starting to use blogs. I find this so interesting and encouraging because a few months ago I had no idea what a blog was and now I am finding out more and more how this can be a communication tool in schools and way to get the message around of what is going on. I really like how she took a subject, such as American Indians Children Literature, and made it the theme of her blog and used it to help others learn more about a subject that many know little about. Most of my focus has been on younger grade levels such as kindergarten to second grade, it is really hard for me to believe that my blog for my class would be most influential on my student s being the age that they are but I think it would definitely be useful for my colleagues and parents. I really love the idea of the blog and using it to do lesson planning and a resource of communication.
Questions/Answers:
Q: How I could use my classroom blog to have an affect on my students that will probably be 5 to 7years old?
A: I can simplify my classroom blog in order for my students to be able to easily access the blog.
Q: How do I incorporate the parents that do not have computers or it is hard for them to get to one, how would they gain access to our class blog?
A: I would have a computer available for parents to come in and check the blog after school. But that raises more what ifs…if the parents working and cannot come to school to check the blog and so on.
