Question 1: What is it like to use a blog in the classroom? I use my blog in many different ways.

I also use the class blog like the way Mr. C uses it too. We also like to attract as many people as possible to comment on our work so we can get some feedback. We like to think that we are famous if people from all over the world visit our site. We are also making friends when we share our work online.

Thanks Again!

Mr C - what a wonderful post and nice to see the students sharing the responses with you as well. Creative and informative and I couldn't agree more - networking and opening up the world by communicating with others is a wonderful thing.
