2. Students need to practice logging in. 3. Upload pictures into library for students to use as they start to post. 4. Show students how to access pictures and how to enter text into blog. 5. Have students start to practice entering information and selecting a picture to go with their post. 6. Have students share what they wrote. || Students could choose a picture to show symbols and then explain what they have found. || 1-27-2014 Since then I have not had my students go back and visit the blog and what they did. I am trying to still wrap my mind around how I can incorporate this into my daily schedule and curriculum. Peer Reflection We talked about how we could each make our lessons better. We came upon setting up a symbaloo that we could add websites to with the idea that the students can access them to find information about topics and ideas. We also spoke about go animate where the students to could make a cartoon of a person that they are studying in social studies. ||

 * Reflections:** || I found that there was more to this activity that what I thought. Sara and Deana really helped me to add in the extra things that I needed. In doing this I also found that you have to be ok with things not going according to planned. The students really enjoyed working and wanted to get back to the blog. In the future I now know what I need to do before hand to facilitate student access.
