Comments4kids
I read Anna H. post about being safe on the Internet. She made great points! Reading a student's blog is a lot of fun and interesting. I think it is a great idea for students to write blogs, it really seems to help with the student's ability to write and think. I really enjoyed reading Anna’s post and look forward to reading other student blogs.

Pod casting is manly used by “millennials”; which refers to people born after 1980, and has always had a life with access to personal computers.

One great thing about pod casting is it allows students out sick to still receive study materials to help them study.

  2. Hey Lauren, I agree with everything you said about podcasts. I also believe that podcast can be positive to use for the students out of class that day and they will be able to still get the assignments and lessons from that day.
