MOVING FROM GOOGLE SITES TO BLOGGER

After having some fun working on a Google Site (which was supposed to store all the projects made by my KIDS 1 and KIDS 2 groups), I sadly realised families weren't going to be able to make comments on the site (only readers are allowed to comment - and it would be almost impossible to add every parent, neighbour, friend, school teacher, etc as a reader...). Sharing my students' work with the school community and their families was, of course, my main aim, but I also wanted them to get some positive affective feedback from others than me. So I decided to move the information to blogs (I had to split the info in 2 groups: Kids 1 and Kids 2). This experience has given me the chance to compare Sites and Blogs and find out which one suits which needs best. I still believe Sites offer greater opportunities for organisation, although they're a bit more complex. Anyway, this time I need something simpler that doesn't requiere much effort on the part of the learners (and parents) to understand.

I invite you all to drop by (it's still under construction, though) and leave a comment. My students and I would love to see you there!
