Using Blogs in the Classroom



Mrs. Berthelson is a Library Media Specialist at Briarcrest Elementary School in Shoreline, Washington. Mrs. Berthelson uses blogging to introduce books to her students. Each post contains a book and a brief synopsis of that book. She invites students to post their own comments on the books they have read. She also uses the site for the students to make their own recommendations on books. I think this is a great way for students to get a student perspective/opinion on reading materials. You can reach her site at http://schools.shorelineschools.org/briarcrest/blogs/berthelson
