Anyone Blog?

Welcome! This is the first posting of many in our Class Reading Blog. Today's goal is to get you acquainted with blogging.

Remember from our activity in class last Friday, where we simulated a blog after viewing a video about cyber-bullying. Each person responded or commented on the video, which was considered a "post". You exchanged papers (using the basketball hoop/basket) with a classmate and read that person's paper, after which you commented again. (We repeated this several times.)

From that activity, I hope you remember that once you enter our online class blog, you FIRST READ the posting(s) and previous comments and THEN respond by adding a comment.

Answer the following questions as you comment to this posting. Please respond in complete sentences.

1. Have you ever heard of the term "blog" before entering this class? If so, where?

2. Do you have your own blog?

a. If so, how do you use it?
What is its purpose?
OR
b. If no, what blog would you create?
What topic would your write about?


3. Do any of your family members have a blog or read a blog?

4. What are you looking forward to in reading class this year?

5. Have you used a blog for another class? (in 5th grade, etc)


Please answer these questions when you make a comment. NEVER include your full name or another person's name in your comment. (for example: a student named Jane Doe should sign her name as only Jane D.)

Happy Tuesday and Happy Blogging!
