I'm on Kidblog: Three Types of Math Problems

I have been using the paid version of Kidblog this year to give my students another platform to publish their writing.  I started with book reviews so that students could share what they were reading with others and get suggestions for a new read.

My Kidblog post about book reviews is here. 

 To download the book review checklist I use with this assignment, click here.

After using them for a few months, Kidblog invited me to write a post about blogging in math.  I wrote three types of problems for my students to solve and discuss online.  You can read about my experiences with blogging in math here.


Overall, I have been pleased with the Kidblog experience.  I have been able to guide my students to better digital citizenship because of the teacher controls they offer.

I am happy to answer any questions you might have about blogging in the classroom.  Ask me anything.

Guest Post on ATUE

Today, I am excited to share a post I wrote for All Things Upper Elementary.  I love reading and writing poetry with my students and I am grateful for the opportunity to share this with some new readers.

If you don't know about this collaborative blog, I recommend you visit them regularly.  Some excellent 3-6 grade teachers share tips and materials.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
