Richardson Chapter 3

This chapter was perfect for me to read right now because I am in the midst of trying to start a class blog.  I decided to try Kidblog because it looks easy and obviously kid friendly.  The chapter reminded me the importance of checking with my principal first to make sure she is OK with me starting a blog.  I also need to get the parents on board.  My first thought is to just post a question a week and let my students post responses.  Eventually I would like to post homework and other things that students might need to access from home.  Maybe one day it will even be as cool as Mrs. Schmidt's Classroom Blog.  She has all kinds of fun stuff like even skyping with authors.  OK, maybe skyping is a stretch for me, but it sure is an awesome way to get students excited about authors.  Wish me luck in my new blogging adventure!
