Writing, Blogs and Wikis

While studying The Diary of Anne Frank, students in Mr. Kelley's 8th grade creative writing class are simultaneousy contributing their experiences to our class blog and to a class wiki which is a part of a middle school class in Hoover, Alabama.  Students from both schools are able to collaborate on both the blog and the wiki while sharing common learning experiences.  Our contact in Alabama is currently teaching at Simmons Middle School part time as a reading interventionist and is also an adjunct at UAB teaching Reading in the Content Area, Introduction to Teaching Secondary Schools:   Methods I, Materials and Methods of Teaching Middle School, and Speaking and Writing for Teachers.  Please log on to take a peek at our classroom blog as it continues to evolve daily: http://blogawriterwrites.blogspot.com.
