Please identify opportunities for differentiation. || Well I was not able to implement this activity but my students did do some blogging with another class, which it was wonderful. i still plan on trying this in my classroom. My students are so much more computer literate and more comfortable with trying new things as I.

The implementation went great! students loved the application and help them to write easily by facilitating the theme or ideas to write about, drawing are so colorful and expressive that just describing them will create a story.

We also incorporated the writing workshop process by allowing students to create a draft, review it and getting the final product.

The next step using this tool will be to create a collaborative story, having a partner, at school first, create a story by taking turns writing, reviewing and editing until is ready for the publication. An extended activity will be to create a collaborative story with somebody outside the school. ||
