Teaching to reach every single student

Blogging 101 motivates students

This article talks about a first grade teacher who is using blogging as an instruction tool with her students.

I really loved this quote:

Yet Cassidy (the teacher) never intended to take classroom technology so far. She
has been teaching for more than 20 years and struggles to even work a
VCR.

However, when the classroom received five new computers in 2000,
Cassidy wanted the machines put to use. She learned how to create a
class Web site with lessons and education games, but soon wanted more.

In 2005, Cassidy launched the blogging program. The hope, she said, was to inspire and challenge her students.
