Classroom Blog - Update

I really enjoy maintaining a classroom blog for Room 9. There are so many benefits of using a blog when teaching, especially in languages. During Spanish I use the blog to embed the language in a range of modes. Learners view and sing along to Youtube videos, mark answers on written tasks, and can re-watch/read from home.
I also use the blog to post the fabulous writing that comes from the 100 Word Challenge Blog. I've seen some really great development in the writing skills of the learners that participate. Unfortunately, I don't have 100% participation from the class, even though it is set as Home Learning for everyone.

I like to add pictures from a range of learning experiences to the blog, to make connections with home. I can appreciate the opportunity to see learners in action, and for the learners to share their experiences and understanding with their whanau.

Here are some screenshots of the Room 9 Blog...
