I was challenged yesterday to take a small step in my journey as an educator. A step that would change the way my students and I learn and share our learning. I have been wanting to start a class blog for a long time, years really, and this was the push that got me going. Each student has been given a page on the blog, allowing them to create posts within their page about their learning. I wanted to make the way they shared their learning more meaningful, moving past slide shows to reach a 'potential' wider audience. I want them to know that what they learn and do matters, and that small things can make a larger impact. As I continue to take small steps on this journey, I hope to challenge my students to look outside books and websites to find the answers to their questions. To make contacts with those in their community, and around the world to help them learn and find solutions to problems and answers to questions. To use Google Hangouts more often to learn and connect, and to challenge them to use Mindmaps, video recordings, Go Animate and other ways to share their learning.
Grade 3's & 4's, I'm excited to see what we do together!!
