K12 Online Conference 2008 | Prove It “We Like Our Blogging Buddies: The Write Stuff with Blogging Mentors”

So I watched this video on Blogging buddies and I found it to be very interesting. The video starts out with a teacher interviewing various students asking them what they linked and disliked about blogging. Most students replied that they enjoyed blogging because it helped them become better spellers, and it was easier than writing. Blogging in the classroom allowed the children to communicate with each , and get feed back from pre- service teachers on their writing which is what our ECMP 355 class is going to be doing. The video talked about how the pre-service teachers had to learn to read "Inventive writing", and how having blogging buddies motivated the children to write and to use good grammar and spelling. After watching this video I am now very excited to start the mentorship project!
