Blogging at ODSS (Bear Essentials post)

The following post was written for Bear Essentials (my school’s staff weekly newsletter).  I have a regular column “On-line with Lisa.”  I will cross post the columns to this blog.  This post was originally written for the newsletter the week of March 18, 2013. It has been slightly modified to reflect an online format.

Classes are blogging at ODSS. Below is a list of class blogs currently (February - June 2013) engaging students at our school. Part of the point of getting students to blog is that they are writing to an authentic audience beyond their classroom teacher. It would be greatly appreciated if YOU would take a look and leave a comment. Hopefully the blogs have been written in a way to inspire a conversation. Your comments help keep the conversation going.
