A friend of mine uses EDMODO. She actually started using it initially as an avenue for discussion on a book they are reading in their reading group. Now she said it is used in multiple ways. My son uses it in middle school as well--Reading class.

Great idea! Our 5th graders are blogging and really enjoying writing about their own hobbies and experiences.

Brad, I think it is extremely important to have our students continue writing over the summer. Of course, if we make an assignment, they most likely will not enjoy the writing. I think a great idea would be having the students blog about a vacation, or special trip they take in the summer. They could include words and pictures to describe what they did and saw. This would be motivating and educational.
