We are part of the Edublog Student Blogging Challenge.
This week the focus is on the idea of community. One of the things we love about our class blog is that it is a fabulous way to build an online community!
There are many benefits to our online community. By having a class blog, we get to practice and promote our reading and writing skills. In addition, it gives us an online place to strengthen our digital citizenship skills and build quality digital footprints. Most of all, the class blog provides a wonderful space for students, families, and global friends to learn about one another. :-)
Here is an excellent example of our online community. One connection leads to another. Watch the connections build in the comment section!
