Middle Level Blog

 This is a link to a middle level blog that a social studies class created at Leawood Middle School.  The teacher and the students are able to make posts and comment on posts.  The blog discusses interesting facts related to social studies and the teacher also lists assignments and advice for students.  The blog fits within the scope of This We Believe because students and teachers are engaged in active, purposeful learning.  Since students are able to have a digital conversation through the blog it places them at the center of the learning process.  The blog also incorporates multiple learning and teaching approaches through the use of technology.  It is an exciting way for students to learn and keep up to date with their social studies class.  ~Wendy Marney

  2. Great job finding this site. It has a little bit of everything for her students. I am really excited about learning this technology and look forward to incorporating it into my classes. One of my daughter's middle school teachers has a blog and my daughter is just starting to use them. I think this kind of tool really appeals to this age group.
