Joshua is a student in Mrs. Morgan's class at a school in Phoenix. He only has two posts on his blog, but seems to be very excited about it. All the students on Mrs. Morgan's Superstars 2014-2015 blog drew a picture for each other and left a comment about the picture. Jed left a picture for Joshua and Joshua commented on it. Joshua thought it looked like a cactus, but I think it more resembled Squidward from Spongebob.
Rachel J is a 12 year old student who had a very interesting post. They were to give suggestions about what decisions the students should make at the school. One of her suggestions was to let students customize their assignments. She gave a short explanation, but she was talking about PBL! I thought it was really cool that she wanted to use projects to learn and that is what we, as future educators, are moving towards. I let her know in the comment to have hope because that is exactly what we are being taught to do.
Kyro is a 1st grade student. He only had one post which was simply, "I like school." I wrote a simple reply telling him I liked school, too. Though simple, I find it absolutely crazy that a 1st grader is operating a blog. This is a great example of how important it is to keep up with technology. By the time this student is in my class in high school, he will have a more than fluent grasp of all types of media. We MUST keep ourselves current with technology because our students will be!
Junior, as he likes to be called, posted a slide presentation in the form of a postcard. He is a year 6 student in New Zealand. He had a really cool Tongan story about eels and coconuts. It was cool seeing him put his heritage into a school project.
