The Blog Awards are an opportunity for you to demonstrate what you have been learning in school and to communicate using a range of media! The wonderful thing about blogs is that you get feedback, in the form of comments, from your peers, friends, family and teachers from anywhere in the world, We have already had comments from teachers in USA and New Zealand on our classroom blog. Your school blog is primarily a learning tool but of course you have the opportunity to personalise it so that it reflects who you are and how you wan to be seen by the blogging world. We have already had a number of discussions about the appropriate use of your blog and I don’t anticipate there being any problems here. Remember if in doubt, check with a parent or me! so here we go - the Blog Awards -
Learning Intention
I am learning to…
Communicate appropriately on my school blog using a variety of media
Success Criteria
To fulfill this learning intention, I need to satisfy the following criteria……
-
proof read and edit my published blog work to the best of my ability
-
post examples of my school work
-
post reflections on my learning
-
make informative comments on other students’ blogs
-
include content on my blog that is informative and appropriate for school
We will vote for the best four blogs in Week Nine. I will talk to you about the voting process - but I would like to invite family and other teachers to vote too. What do you think?

I think Teachers shoud maybe help but not parents because then they might pick their kid.

Lesley can we have a time like once a week in the learning centre to post our work because I’m getting confused at school as to who’s using the computers and stuff. But I agree with Kate about not getting parents to vote unless you say they can’t vote for they’re own kid.

Hi Room 12,
What a great idea to have Blog Awards - like the Academy Awards but more interesting. I will look forward to being able to see the finalists and, if you allow visiting teachers to vote, to cast my vote for the blog I think best meets the agreed criteria.
Will you allow students who visit to vote too? Whatever you decide, we will look forward to seeing the results of the competition.
