Thank you for sharing, I think blogs are a great way for students to have a voice and write about whatever they are thinking. It is also a great way for students to be able to communicate with each other. Like someone stated in the comments, blogs are also a great way to help students increase computer literacy as well as boosting students confidence.

Thank you for posting this. I am a high school student enrolled in a computer application class where we are required to maintain a blog. Keeping a blog is essential to computer literacy as it helps students to interact with others online. Additionally we often draft our posts in Microsoft Word so it helps with formatting too.

In reply to mrsdsroadrunners. Thanks for your comment, Trish! Perhaps I should have also highlighted the fact that students and teachers can both be writers on the same spaced -- as you illustrate. I encourage others to check out your blog!

There is so much to consider when entering the blogging world. Thank you for concrete suggestions for bringing students into blogging. The links to students blogs are illuminating and foster a sense of possibility as I learn the ins and outs of edublogs.
Your graphic staircase is particularly helpful.

Hi there!

I’m really interested in the way that students in the first few years of schools can use blogs. In fact, I’m hoping to write a post about it in the coming weeks!

Some classes have the teachers post and have the students learn to write comments on the post. Others have their students make simple posts on their own blogs like Kathy Cassidy or Becky Versteeg.
This is Kathy’s blog from last year with her 6yos http://mscassidysclass.edublogs.org/
Here is Becky’s blog of 6/7 yos http://edublog.amdsb.ca/team2eagles/
Another great example is Aviva Dunsiger who does the documenting for her pre-kinder students but it’s such an active and rich blog https://mrscrockett.commons.hwdsb.on.ca/category/daily-shoot/

Hope that gives you a little food for thought! I haven’t used Seesaw personally 🙂

These are wonderful approaches to student blogs and digital portfolios. Wonderful ways of beginning to blog in the classroom. I teach Kindergarten, so I have been trying to find a manageable way to introduce my little ones to blogging. I heard of SeeSaw Blogging. Do you have any experience with SeeSaw? Any experience with Kindergartenrs and blogging?
