Diving In
Well I have set up the website page that our class newspaper will be on. We've named it the Coyote Connection . I thought I'd put the link here so you can watch the SLOW progress we are making. It truly is a work in progress. I'm hoping after the students get their first articles up that it will run more smoothly. On that class newspaper there is also a link to our class website. I'm pretty proud of myself that I have it up and running. A year ago, I would have been too scared to do it.

Janine,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing you're doing by starting an online newspaper for parents to access and students to make contributions. I love it! I also took a glance at your website and I'm impressed. I'm so glad I finally got to see pictures of your students! You've done a fabulous job venturing out of your comfort zone with both of these projects. See how far we've come in only a year? :)
Wow! Nice work on your websites! The kids did a great piece on the Limo ride and pizza. Your classroom site has come together very well, also.
ReplyDeleteYou are truly an inspiration to the teaching profession Janine! Great job on the website and what a major accomplishment from where we started! Your students are very lucky! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteGreat job by you as a teacher and your students. I was wondering, how do you pick your reporters? Do you use this as an incentive or do all the students write about something and then you choose or have the class choose what gets posted? I could see doing something like this during my share time (show-n-tell) I have some real actors in the crowd, it could be quite entertaining! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI have ALL on "assigments". They are in different stages of their projects so it makes juggling them tricky. As far as determining who does what I just assigned the first two projects and now I have come up with other reportings that need to be covered and the students have volunteered. I also have partners that have come to me about a story they want to cover and I send them off to write their questions and get them approved by me.
