Exclamation marks!!! and CAPITAL LETTERS

Today, before exploring some class blogs in Canada and the US, we talked about the differences between communicating face-to-face versus on-line (via messaging, 'newsfeeds' and blog posts). We watched a video and considered why and how using capital letters and too many exclamation marks might be misinterpreted by our friends.

Our voices, our facial expressions and our body language were some of the reasons we agreed make emotions easier to 'read' in-person.

How do you think this might change in the future?

Cloud Talk

Term 2 has just begun at BIS, Phuket and we have a new set of students taking part in our after school blogging activity. There was so much to talk about and investigate today...we tinkered on Edmodo in our newly formed group, we visited our class blog for the first time and we even had time to comment on another class blog in England. You can see our Cloud Talk comment here: http://davyhulme.primaryblogger.co.uk/topic/angry-birds-art-on-the-ipad/

But, before we visited the blogs we brainstormed some ideas about blogging and shared our thoughts on Wallwisher:
