Technology Tip of the Week: Kidblog
Description:
Kidblog is a safe, secure way for students to publish their thoughts, questions, or writing online. The great thing about online publishing is that students can show their teacher and other classmates what they are thinking or wondering. Even better is that everyone who is part of the blog can comment back to the person making the post. So it is very quick and easy to get feedback from others to help answer questions or shape thinking.
For teachers, Kidblog can be a great way to get students thinking about something before it is taught, collect thoughts and questions during instruction, or get exit ticket thoughts as students wrap up their studies. Kidblog also allows for anytime/anywhere access and learning. Teachers can stay connected with students as they move through postings and make any necessary adjustments to the learning taking place.
Birdville ISD has recently purchased access to Kidblog. If you currently have a Kidblog account or are new to Kidblog, these instructions will get you going! Your campus DLS is eager to help at any step of the process Email them with any questions!
