Year 4-6 at my school compete in webb-stjärnan too, but when I asked more about it they just said that it was ment for older children than mine... hummmpf... (I teach year 1 ). <br />However we´re starting the parents to use "fronter" and it might be too much to ask them to check in on a bloggspot too, something to think about anyhow. Now that my children have started writing more and more I´d love a chance for them to publish their writings so they feel more meaningful. Hav to stop now - have to start a blog... :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425157595920004435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351892925602384171.post-5244445496898948582013-03-23T02:07:53.021-07:002013-03-23T02:07:53.021-07:00The explanation of the resource is good and there ...The explanation of the resource is good and there are examples on websites to visit if you want to start a blog yourself or need help. I hope I can start a blog in my class soon, you make it seem easy to get started and really look forward to get started myself. One thing I wonder is how to manage this when having 25 pupils in class… But I guess they learn from each other and help each other. You have written examples of how you as a teacher can use a blog like to write about happenings and other important information for the parents. And there are examples of how the pupils can use it, like cooperate in small groups and write about what they have done in school and what they have learnt. I think this is an excellent resource to include the parents in what their children are doing in school and for the teacher to get the parents to understand the aims for the teaching. You write about that the pupils get a chance to give relatives and friends who don´t live near an opportunity to be a part of the pupil’s life in school. This way the pupils get receivers of their work and I think it is important. They can publish pictures, their written work or recordings. <br />You have not written any examples about how to use it in English learning, but I would use it to show what the pupils do in English in school. Like recording words and phrases we work with. You could use it to help parents to show good websites for their children if they are interested in practicing English at home.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
