Full Session Description (as long as you would like): My 4th graders blog instead of writing in their math journals. Learn how my students begin blogging on paper, learn how to leave quality comments, and finally start their own blogs. See how we get parents involved with a blog commenting party and get hundreds of comments from a global audience by using the hashtag #comments4kids. If you have ever wanted to get your students blogging but were not sure how to begin, this session will lay out the steps to help you get started.
