When I'm an adult...

I recently came across a question posted on Twitter by educational author Will Richardson:

Needless to say it got me thinking...why not ask the children in my class?

So in order to create a quick and easy activity, I changed the wording a bit and asked the kids to complete the sentence and post it to their Kidblogs:

"When I'm an adult I will write..."

Have a look at our ideas for yourself on our Kidblog link: http://kidblog.org/MsMelaniesClass/


What kinds of things do you think you will need to write when you're an adult?

This week we found a classroom in Canada who had sent out a survey via Twitter in order to collect data for a graphing unit--We took some time reading through and answering the questions...what a fabulous idea! Thanks to Ms. Horst's class for sharing and we look forward to seeing the results on your blog:

Maybe we should create our own survey to send around the world?

Today we logged into Kidblog and personalized our own blogs. After exploring the 'dashboard' and tinkering to see where various links took us we spent some time selecting avatars and finding blog themes.

With over 12 themes to choose from, students were able to test out different looks and hone in on one background that appealed to their sense of style and personality. They've also added some information to their new blogs explaining the reasoning behind their selections.

Why not have a look for yourself? To find our individual blogs go to the "Cloud Talk" link under the Kidblog logo on the right side of this page. Please feel free to add a comment...
