Your writing is fabulous - I loved reading it!<br />
I am a 4th grade teacher in Pennsylvania and I am very impressed. I can't wait to share your blog with my students.<br />
Keep up the great work!

Oct 15th:<br />
Did you know that today is "<a href="http://twitter.com/FullCircles/statuses/4897582569" target="_blank">Blog Action Day '09 - Climate Change</a>". Even U.K. Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has gotten on the bandwagon.<br />
<br />
So far today, 9,766 Blogs 150 Countries / 13,075,079 Readers <a href="http://bit.ly/2aCSlZ" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/2aCSlZ</a><br />
<br />
This is a great opportunity to engage students in a global issue and blogging all at the same time!

Look into storybird.com. We are just starting to use the site and there a some glitches and shortcoming in the beta version but it works exactly like you suggested. The kids would be paired (only 2 in a group) with another writer and the story moves back and forth. Kids have to have emails and storybird accounts. Look around the site and I'll discuss with co-teacher.

I was thinking that maybe our students could collaborate and write a story, poem, play, etc. online. We could branch them into groups and maybe one day one of my students submit a part of the story, then the next time your student adds to the story, etc. Along the way students could post comments back and forth to offer advice, suggestions, words of encouragement, etc.

Your site is working now. Our new security filter our district now uses has been a real pain this year. You never know if things will work or not.

Aaron, I am surprised <a href="http://areallydifferentplace.org" target="_blank">A Really Different Place</a> is blocked since there is no indication in the URL that it is it a blog. Will your district unblock appropriate sites? We went through this will our district four years ago but now very few things are blocked.<br />
<br />

Hmmm, let me give it some thought and tell my co-teacher you are interested. Do your kids want to blog? I also have a blog set up that one day I hope to use for <a href="http://kidsreviewbooks.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">kid's book reviews</a>. You guys could write and publish book reviews. I'm eventually going to have the kids read reviews and use "how to write a book review" before I have the kids do it.

Thanks, the calendar is a good idea for prompts. We also use appropriate RSS feed for kids (left hand colum) and creative writing prompts (right hand column).

Your blog is blocked at my school, but I will be sure to check it out when I get home. Would you want to do some sort of online collaboration? I have 16 gifted 4th graders who are dying to work with another class.

Nancy, I had a quick look at your class blog. I noticed one kid saying that he didn't know what to blog about.<br />
<br />
I had a thought about that. We offer an electronic Multicultural Calendar for intranets. We basically re-purposed the data from the paper calendar, now in its 17th edition. It's been a great teaching aid for many schools, boards, teachers, as well as supporting organizational diversity initiatives.<br />

If you have the inclination, skill and a server you can do your own thing with Drupal. <a href="http://areallydifferentplace.org">Here</a> is our class blog--everyone has their own blog, no email, and it is safe and easy to monitor. My blog is on the front--see Recent Posts to see what kids are saying.
