We are blogging at Joseph Sims Elementary School with TEI Students.

This is a blog. This is a post on a blog. What is a blog you ask?
It’s a template. You can add things called widgets on the side to help visitors:

1. Navigate
2. Find information
3. Or just be entertained

Blogs are more than websites, or a way for the owner to speak to others. They also can be used for readers to communicate to the blog owner, because built into blogs is the assumption that each post can take comments from readers.

Your first task: Head over to the Blogroll to the right in the sidebar column. Read at least three of the blogs. Leave comments on them if you find something interesting you’d like to respond to. Come back to this page, and leave a comment about where you went, and what you saw.

Your second task: Head of to the Classroom Blogs listed in the sidebar. How can blogging help teachers? How can blogging help students?
