Posting To Blogs

As our kids grow older, it is extremely important for them to understand that everything they do matters to someone. I think it's great for children to have an opportunity to look back at work that they have done in the past and it is also important for other people to view work children have accomplished and also to give feedback on it. The following is a link that show a kindergarten class choir performing to Fleetwood Mac’s Landslide.(http://is.gd/3WVnq) This performance by the class was very touching to me. It showed grace in the children's feelings during the song. After the video was made, the kids were invited to perform on stage because the artist was touched by how amazing the children were.

It is never to young to begin learning about technology. The following link is about a very young girl by the name of Kaia who began being taught about technology at a very young age by her dad. (http://isgd/3WSsn) Kaia's dad created a blog for her and picks her mind of her imagination about everyday life growing up. He explains to her what he's doing whenever he add posts to her blog. In this video with Kaia, she takes pictures of nature and describes each and every picture for her dad to post to her blog. I really enjoyed this because I know for a fact that many people have viewed and continue to view Kaia's blog posts and are also commenting on it and one day Kaia will look back and feel very proud of her accomplishments.

Lastly is a link to a class in New Zealand called McClung's class. (http://jkmcclung.edublogs.org/) This is a class blog where the kids display their work and the results of it. It shows class projects that the class is involved in and what they are doing in order to be more creative. This blog is available to be viewed by anyone and is also available for comments to the kids. The kids are able to view the comments for feedback. The kids look forward to the feedback from viewers each and every Friday and is always willing and ready to make improvements to the blog. I think this is very important to the children becasue it allows them to improve and get better at what they are doing. If their blog wasn't available for viewing, they would never be able to find out what other people think about the blog. Children do need feedback and I think blogs are unique in a way that will keep entertainment in out children's learning.
