Blogging Slowly but Surely...

To my disappointment, each time I have tried to have students blog using the iPod Touches, it hasn't been very successful. It seems each time we tried, there was a problem with the wifi. Our blog entries have not been as numerous as we would like, but my ELL Support students are slowly understanding the format I am asking of them to use when sharing and explaining the academic and non-academic vocabulary they are gleaning from their classes. They finally are starting to have a feel for the dashboard and no longer constantly ask for help to navigate WordPress. At this time, they are able to successfully write an entry and include a picture and a caption. The most advanced students have actually even taken on adding hyperlinks to the definitions they found in Wordcentral and the English-Spanish online dictionary they use. Things are shaping up at last! Please visit my blog and browse through my blogroll to see some of my English Language Learners use of the Internet and its available resources to "play" with vocabulary.
