I am totally new to this blogging. Being a fourth grade teacher, I am unsure of how to incorporate it into my classroom and share it with my students. I loved Harley’s Making maple Syrup blog. I am in New England and may share this with students as we talked about this subject just the other day. Thanks

I really like the idea of collaborating with the students when posting. Placing their work online really gives them a pride and sense of ackomplishment. As a beginning teacher, I can see that the use of blogging is positively impacting education. I looked at Harley’s blog and I really enjoyed it~

Thanks for poining me in the direction of Harley. Some interesting stuff that I will look to use in my classroom and pass onto others across the school.
