Dear Jacqui,
This is a great idea, thanks! I’ll be trying this one out soon. I teach K-5 Technology and am always looking for new approaches to integrate in authentic ways. I’m glad I found your blog. Do you blog with students too?

Thanks, Kelly. I don’t blog with students yet. Do you? I’ve read a lot about blogging platforms that are safe for kids, but have yet to pull the trigger. I’m close.
Love your blog. It’s so colorful and engaging.
Yes, I do blog with students. I really like our Edublog platform. As far as safety, I approve all comments before they are posted. It’d be worth your time to check it out. Thanks for your kind words on our blog. The benefits in our classroom have been amazing!
