Meet the Blogger

On Monday afternoon, the 4T students put on their ‘blogging expert’ hats and welcomed family, school staff and friends into our classroom to demonstrate and explain their learning of the digital world this term.

Adults were encouraged to ask the students lots of questions to help their learning.  This list of questions helped them know what to ask:

  • What is a blog?

  • Why do you blog? What are the benefits?

  • How do you stay safe while blogging?

  • What makes a quality blog post?

  • What makes a quality comment?

  • What tips would you give to someone who wants to start blogging?

  • Can you show me around your site?

  • What’s the difference between the dashboard and the site?

  • Can you show me how to create a post?

  • How do you leave a comment?

4T’s visitors

The adults were all SO impressed with the students’ ability to answer these questions in such detail they even admitted to learning a thing or two in our surprise blogging quiz for the adults in the room at the end of the session.

What was your favourite part of the afternoon?  Why? OR Tell me about your Digital Citizenship poster and why you think its theme is important.
