C4K #10 Ms. Yollis' 3rd Grade Class

For C4K #9 we were all assigned to thoroughly read and look through Ms. Yollis' Class Blog. Ms. Yollis' is a third grade teacher in California. She recently finished her Master's Degree in Integrating Technology in the Classroom to help her improve the use of technology in anyway she can with her students.

One thing that I really love about Ms. Yollis' class blog is that her students are featured in all of the videos that I watched. You can tell her third graders love being in the videos and they look like they are having so much fun. One of the videos I really liked is the five tips for writing a quality comment. The best part of this video, in my opinion, is at the end when the student is talking about the last step, which is to proofread. He is informing whoever is going to write a comment about the punctuation you should use. I like seeing the third grader inform us on how to proofread because this shows Ms. Yollis' has taught him something that he would like to share with others!

Just reading the comments that these students are writing is amazing. They are in the third grade and are writing on such a higher level. Ms. Yollis is doing a great job in helping her students learn to write and blog early in school! It is easy to see from the comments from parents and grandparents that they are very proud to see what their children are doing.

Just like with Dr. Strange's class blog, Ms. Yollis' has a running record of the number of visitors to her class blog. As of today, November 9, 2011, Ms. Yollis' class blog has received 74,844 visits. I think this is great. By clicking on the cluster map, you can see that people from all over the world has viewed her class blog.
