The Chalkboard 2.0

In April, students are developing their own personal blogs using Edublogs.  Edublogs allows us to create private blogs only accessible by a password to the public. Students can view one another's blogs. Over the next 12 weeks, students will be posting one picture a week, and writing one paragraph to describe the picture.  For an example, you can see my first two posts for the 12 Week Challenge on The Chalkboard 2.0.  There is also a list of all of the student blogs here.
