EduBlog Insights

Right now I am at J.H. House Elementary school working with my Wrinkles group. Something very special has happened for one of my students. That student is Emily! Emily has been featured as a guest blogger on BlogHeads. You can see her wonderful writing here. I was thrilled that Emily chose to talk about good introductions in writing. Last year I showed my NewsQuest group this slideshow. We spent a lot of time discussing how to grab a reader’s attention with an opening lead! I was amazed at how much Emily remembered! Now, Emily is a student who always steps up to the plate and tries her best! Her writing continues to get better and better! She puts her heart and soul into writing. She is a great blogger. I am so proud of her! So with that, I turn my blog over to Emily………..

OK!!!! That was unexpected. I was just reading what Mrs.Davis was typing and then BOOM!!! She hands her blog to me. Well, I’m absolutely flattered. One day I’m a regular blogger, but the next day, I’m a guest blogger on a blog!!!

This webloging group has showed me many opportunities. I have tought some other kids with my writing, which has been one of my dreams for a while. I have also learned from other webloggers. One main point I have learned from others is to always copy your writing before you post. Very, very helpful at times. Writing has shown me a career I am now considering to become(when I’m older). I can become a journalist! Now I know that journalism can be fun, exciting, and even exhillerating, not just boring.

All you people out there who say that elementry students can’t blog……You Are SO Wrong!!! Look what it’s done for me. It has taught me so much, while letting me have my voice shown across the web. I have been blogging for 2 years now and I haven’t had a problem yet. Each time I post a blog entry, I feel like I’m on Cloud 9. It feels like I just got elected for the first women president! It feels like I just gained a million really close friends! Get what I’m saying? It’s like your favorite thing, times 1000!!! Without blogging, I don’t know what I would do. Again, elementry students CAN BLOG!!!!!

I wondering who’s going to read this…..Oh well. Blog to ya later!

Well done, Emily! Well done! As Emily says, blog to ya later!
