We just figured out how to alter the font color and add photos to the blogs. Very exciting!
Claire and Kristen continue to add student work to their blog, which is an ongoing goal. They are most impressed by how excited the students are about writing and seeing work on the blog -- along with choosing their topics. The students have shown great improvement in their writing (sentence structure, organizing their thoughts, paragraph writing and editing).

Jeff continues to post work by his 9th grade journalism students on the Informer blog. They are really enjoying seeing their work in print on a regular basis. It's a nice way for them to write about their thoughts and opinions on a variety of subject matter without having to go through the vigorous revising and editing process for articles that appear in the Informer. For the blog posts, they generally write about a topic (Woodlynde related or something that's interesting or bothering them in the real world) and then they sit down with me to edit it. My goal is to not only continue to have these 9 students blog but to expand the blog to my other journalism students.
