About leesclassroom from Lee Pregnell on Vimeo.
Welcome to Lee’s Classroom.
I’m Lee Pregnell and for the last 14 years I’ve being developing blogs and wikis with my students. We started with a 5/6 team blog, moved onto a class blog then very soon all 5/6 students had their own blogs. MPPS now has classroom blogs in all year levels, separate blogs for our specialists classes and every student from grades 4 to 6.
For links to current and past student blogs follow the links on the right hand side bar. You’ll also find links to other MPPS class blogs.
For examples click on the following links (they all demonstrate the potential of blogs as digital portfolios):

http://eliza2010.global2.vic.edu.au/, http://matthew2011.global2.vic.edu.au/, http://edna2010.global2.vic.edu.au/,
http://caitlin2011.global2.vic.edu.au/
For examples of the power of the conversations students can have through their blogs go to:

and

Finally check out this conversation thread between Afrah, one of my previous grade 4 students, and a 100WC mentor responding to one of her short stories:

Please leave a comment after you read the student’s entries, it’s easy to do. Go to the posting you want to respond to and click on the word comment. Scroll down until you find the “Leave a response” box. Enter your name (please avoid using your surname), email, comment, anti spam code and press “submit comment”.
