The 1st Graders are a Hit!
May 12, 2006 | |
The 3 first grade audiobook blogs are now finished and posted. Hooray! The most exciting thing has been the response from the students’ friends and family. More comments and kudos keep pouring in from around the country. Talk about early writers writing for an authentic audience! I am so proud of this project and I am so proud of the fine young readers and writers in our first grade. We will definitely do this project again next year. (Can anyone say video podcasting? 
) Once again, take a moment to visit, listen and comment on one or more of the 1st grade links below:

Barbara - I love the podcasts. I’m a Banyan room parent and was thrilled by the blog. Both for its content and because it uses WordPress software which my company happens to work on (www.automattic.com). How’s this for a flat world story: my company develops blogging software and releases it as open source (WordPress). A guy in Australia picks it up and runs a free blogging service for schools (Edublogs). My kid’s school finds it and creates wonderful classroom blogs for the community to enjoy!
Toni,
I was so thrilled to read your comment! Definitely the quintessential “flat world” example, and so very cool indeed. We absolutely love WordPress, and have been having so much fun with this fabulous (and free) Edublogs site. The best part of the audiobook project by far has been the overwhelmingly positive response from the kids’ friends and family.
Thanks for the story, (and we should talk
)
Barbara
