Students found some interesting posts when they commented on other blogs this week. A few popular ones were:

• Adriana’s post about slime which includes a recipe
• Mia’s post about Rubik’s Cubes and flu season
• Mr. H’s Story: Place of Lost Bones (a Choose Your Own Adventure story)
• what’s happening in Mrs. Lannon’s 4th grade
• our own author, GB5, who wrote How Bad My Braces Hurt

We had several tasks to choose from while creating artifacts for our blog. Week 3 challenge tasks included making our own images for our blog posts rather than using copyrighted images obtained from a Google search. Students created word clouds about blogging at ABCya’s site and comics about Internet safety and writing quality blog comments at Make Beliefs Comix site.

Miranda’s Internet safety comic was created at www.MakeBeliefsComix.com.

Some students used Google Drawings and ABCya’s Color, Draw & Paint to create an image to go with their blog posts. Here are a couple examples. We look forward to the tasks for Week 4 of the challenge.

Camden’s dalmation was created with ABCya’s Color, Draw & Paint. Read his post here.

River experimented with Google Drawings to create his picture.
