After a PAGES experience last year, Forbidden Voices, my students decided they wanted to blog and I have learned it is a perfect way to have students write regularly, write what they are passionate about and have an online discourse. This year’s freshmen didn’t have a choice and they love it too!
To jumpstart our blogs and make connections around the world, we participated in the Edublogs Student Blogging Challenge. A new challenge will start up in the spring if you are interested in participating with your students or in mentoring other students.
I am excited to announce that FIVE of our freshmen were nominated for Best Student Blog!
And my favorite teacher resource, WexPAGESOnline, was nominated for the Best Ed Tech/Resource sharing blog!
Please consider visiting and voting.
You’ll need to vote using the students’ blog site’s url, so I’m including them here:
Here is a link to our class blog site if you’re curious. We are always looking for ways to write, collaborate and connect if you’d like:
