Blog Post #1 -- Kindergarten Blog

I reviewed Kindergarten Blog, http://kdgroom102.blogspot.com/

There were videos on writing numerals. She broke them down in small numeric groups: 1-5 and 6-9. The audience for this blog is the students. This is a great way to help students learn how to write numbers. She also has a rhyme to go with each number to help remember the numbers. This is a great resource for the students, because they can practice and learn on their own if the teacher is busy assisting other students. I believe this blog is still being used. It is a very helpful blog for her students and all students learning to recognize and write numbers. This would be wonderful lesson/blog for my special education students who need additional help.

Another video I reviewed Ms. Forsberg’s gym class; the students were rock climbing. The audience for this blog is both students and parents: the parents can see their children actually rock climbing and the students can be reminded of this fun activity. I like this exercise because not all learning comes from books. Rock climbing is a great way to have children work together, build confidence and help teach students healthy habits. This entry was added to the blog on Friday October 24, 2008, so the blog is still being used. It is great to use this blog to show students what their peers can achieve and hopefully giving other students the confidence to try something new, even if the height of the wall is scary.

I believe this blog is great to used for the leaning aspect. It gives students fun and inventive ways to learn. Now that I know how to use a blog, I believe that I could use it in a way to enhance student learning across all aspects.

The rhymes in this blog even helped me! The teacher does a great job getting the lesson across using this online tool.
