Greta Sandler (About A Teacher) was the name of the teacher and Blog that I was assigned to and her blog was titled Finding My Voice. In her blog she discussed her love for writing and poetry, and how she has gotten away from it, because every time she tries to write she would get writers block. It wasn't until a teacher and close friend of hers, came to her and asked her to write an Aha Moment blog on her blog site. So with no hesitation Mrs.Sandler agreed to do it. Never mind the fact that she gets writer's block, Mrs. Sandler still managed to write the blog and it was her best one yet. And in doing so she was able to find her way back to writing and even used it in her classrooms. Mrs. Sandler now says that her classroom extends beyound their four walls and now stretches out over the whole world. Thanks to her blogging she is able to share her classroom adventures with other teachers and get feedback as well. I left a comment on her Blog post saying that even After this class is over I intend to check her blogs on the regular not because it is required of me, but because I actually like reading her blogs.
Kids Motivating Other Kids Blog Is a great Blog that Mrs.Sandler has created so that her previous years students could come back and leave posts or comments for her new students to read that suggest helpful tips for writing. I love how she embeds links to previous blogs that she discuss, so that when someone new visits her blog,they can have a Root to what it is she is discussing. When she opened the doors for students to motivate other students, she was over joyed with their responses. Students blogged back and forth with each other sharing great ideas and stories to blog about.What really stood out to me was how excited and amazed the kids were to hear from other students in different countries. I can't wait for my future class to be able to experience the joys of blogging like Mrs.Sandler's class.
