Why Blog?

http://suewaters.com

Sue tells us – The question is ‘scaffold vs struggle’.  Can you be too helpful when introducing blogging to students?

 

Jan Smith‘s advice is:

 

 The big idea is to go slow to go fast.

If you don’t lay the groundwork by building a community of trust, risk, support with your kids they fail big.

Reading and commenting have to be the core, or else a blog is just a digital bulletin board.

2. You gain from being supported by other educators — increasing your skills and developing new ideas that benefit your students

Wind turbines!!

This is a fascinating wind turbine that I recently saw at foster. They are 64 meters tall and the wings (propellers) are 63 meters high. These wind turbines generate that air to predict the wind current. There are solar turbines and wind turbines. Post a comment about how you predict the weather there. Look deeply into the photo look at the sky, look at the tree. There are many ways you can predict the weather other than wind and solar turbines.
