scrapblogging in the classroom

I learned about Scrapblog when I went to the TCEA 2008 conference in Austin, TX. My class dabbled with it last year but we are doing much more this school year.

We have been learning about presidents in the last couple weeks, particularly George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. I read several books to them and showed them a few videos I found on United Streaming. I also had them research more on their president of choice. After taking down notes with a provided form, I showed them Scrapblog. They are to showcase their learning with this blog/ scrapbook site.

I created accounts for each student, showed them how to use it, and now they are on their way. It's as simple as 1-2-3.

You can learn more about how to use Scrapblog and blogging (and more) with this 'scrapblog' I created:



Here is an example of one of my kid's work in progress. They are turning out so good. You should try it! If a first grader can do it, anyone can!
