Getting connected with other classrooms and bring different perspectives to our classsroom. Nowadays, it's not difficult for students to find answers for their questions/inquiries.
After reading the article Five Practical Ways to Connect Your Classroom to the World I decided to connect a small group of EAL Grade 5 students I support using KidBlog and #comments4kids.
KidBlog has many options that teachers want. "Setting classes up
with blogs can be done in minutes. Blogs — and the comments left on them
— can be as private or as public as teachers want." I've had an account for a long time and decided to use it (I have never used it).
For the first time, I will use #Comments4Kids. According to the article read by Matt Miller, "Comments4Kids is
a great resource to connect students to a real, authentic audience.
Interaction is what has made social media so popular. When students can
connect with their readers, they can get that same thrill in academic
writing as they do when their Facebook posts get lots of comments and
likes."
My students haven't written any posts yet. However, I believe it lbe very enriching.
