Ms. Cassidy’s Classroom Blog is a
blog that shares the experiences of a first grade classroom in Canada. The
teacher, Ms. Cassidy, uses her blog to post about her students latest
accomplishments and what they are up to in the classroom. The blog is visited
by parents, students, and other teachers looking to create ePortfolios and
blogs for their own classrooms.
This blog is a wonderful example of
how to keep parents informed with what is happening in the classroom and a good
space for them to see their child’s work. Each child has his or her own blog
that can be accessed from the main page. Each student blog includes work that
they have completed throughout the year. I believe that the students feel a
sense of self-pride when they are able to display their work on their own
personal blog.
I personally thought that this blog
was amazing! It gave me so many ideas on how to incorporate technology into my
future classroom. I love the idea of keeping parents in the loop by showing
them what the students are working on in the classroom, like practicing reading
stamina, sorting, working in math groups, making muffins, and much more! She
adds pictures and videos to the blog to make it personal and fun to look at. I
added one of the videos from her blog here so you can get an idea of how fun
and personalized her blog is.
Ms. Cassidy continuously updates her blog with pictures of the cool hands-on activities she does with the students. It's fun to not only see how she is implementing technology, but also the fun activities that they are doing. I am leaving this blog with many ideas on classroom activities and blog ideas. I
definitely recommend that you check out this blog if you are interested in
learning more about how to create a classroom blog or eportfolios.
