I found this article interesting for two reasons. First, I will be undertaking my internship with Kim and was interested in both her tone and classroom organisation. Secondly, because I want to see technology used to provide differentiation and to raise student learning outcomes. The connectedness with other distant classrooms is a good incentive for student engagement and I like the idea of using blogs to foster interest and effort with writing. Blogging also allows for a genuine development of new literacy skills as students not only decode but also construct messages across multiple media. This aspect of getting kids thinking and writing in complex forms is what I am looking forward to using in the classroom.
Having said that I need to do some reading before I hit the floor! So I'll start with Kim's own blog...
