A MEME YOU SAY?

This week in Challenge2011 #8, Miss W has started off a challenge that involves a meme.  This is an idea that travels around the world from one tag to another.  We have been tagged by Miss T’s classroom blog.  We have to write about one thing that makes us glow with pride, and then we tag others hoping that they will continue the meme.

The one thing that “MAKES ME GLOW WITH PRIDE” is the role that our small class played in establishing school blogs at the White Oak Intermediate and the way the movement has spread with such success.  Our class was the first to begin blogging in February 2009 after I returned from the TCEA conference. Our involvement in the student blog challenge taught (and continues to teach) us much about blogging. From a few small red dots on a map in February, to more than 24,000 visitors to our blog, we continue to be amazed at the flatness of the world in the 21st century.

Our decision to begin a class blog has resulted in every single classroom having a blog on the Primary campus as well as the Intermediate campus.  Six classrooms have also established individual student blogs. In addition, this year we added the White Oak Elementary blog that helps to keep the community informed of school agendas. Blogging has forever changed the lives of these students and the face of this small town.

WILL YOU CONTINUE THIS MEME AND WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU GLOW WITH PRIDE?

We tag Alley of O’Malley, Mrs. Yollis’ classroom, Room 8@ Melville (with whom we exchanged Easter Peeps a couple of years ago), and Mrs. Wingo’s Rockin Rebels.  Please continue this meme.
