Summary Post C4K #7, 8, 9 and 10

Geeking XC tryouts was a post that I thought was very interesting for Mr. McClung to have in his blog.  Geeking XC tryouts is a post that talked about cross country running and what students will be learning while in cross country camp. The blog that Mr.McClung has created is interesting and full of informative information for students, parents, and random viewers. During the time that I spent analyzing his blog I learned about websites that translated words to different languages. I thought that it was also fascinating to see the daily music song in his class blog. Mr. McClung helps his students to be more responsible for their work, which is seen clearly in his syllabus and the students work that is posted on the class blog. 

Mrs. Yollis blog is very captivating for learners of all ages. One of the tabs that Mrs. Yollis has on her blog is a post about California. In her post she talked about the highest mountain and California's driest locations. Learning about California was a great way to understand the life and experience that she has had living there. Mrs. Yollis expects excellence form her students and from people who leave comments on her class blog. Mrs. Yollis has been the first teacher that I have left a comment for who understand that to make a student achieve excellence you have to tell them even when it may be a little embarrassing.  While I was scrolling through her class blog I found many interesting concepts and facts that would help me to be a better student and future educator.

Year 6L (Week in review with Mr. Lowe) was a unique class blog that put many interests towards history and historic events that have happened. The post that was interesting to me was the definition of WTO and the UN organizations. The review was a topic that this class has reviewed and studied. The students were reviewing the roles of these two organizations and how it is of interest to their life.  The second part of this weekly review is that the students learned about the Carrol Diagram and the Venn Diagram. The students seems to have learned many things about the government and how it works through a continuous process.

Grace is a student blog that expressed the things that she likes to do in terms of school, play, and home.  Grace decided to bake some cookies and she used a cookbook for instructions on how to make this delicious sweet. With her mothers help, Grace was able to go to the store and buy ingredients, such as sugar and eggs. In my opinion, children who cook is another method of teaching and it helps the students to be more disciplined, patient, and it teaches them how to read instructions. With cooking Grace has to use a measuring cup, cooking utensils, and she has to know how to use a timing method. Grace is another example of a student who is achieving excellence by using a blog.
