That’s right!! We WON! Boy, were we ever excited. Monday brought about several surprises for our students. First of all, we received an email from Sue Waters, Edubloggers, letting us know that we had won in the Embedded Media Division of the Blog Challenge09 Competition. Whoa!
Next, the newspaper came out to do a feature piece on us because only recently did we ship a package to Myles Webb’s Class, http://melvilleroom8.blogspot.com/ in New Zealand, and they responded with some awesome posts. We shared their website with him and answered all of his questions.
The reported asked how blogging had improved our writing skills and then he asked the students how they felt about blogging. They were certainly NOT at a loss for words to share their thoughts.
How do you feel about blogging? How do you think it affects all of your school subjects?
Will you continue to blog over the summer months? We want to know.
Greetings students!
It was so nice to meet all of you Monday morning, and to see your enthusiasm for blogging.
Just wanted to tell you that the story on your class will run in the education page on May 14 in our newspaper.
Congratulations on the Edubloggers award, keep up the good work and have a fantastic summer!!!!!

Congratulations Mrs. Cranford. Your students have done a good job. I am a grade 7/8 teacher in London, Ontario, Canada and I just started the whole blogging experience with my students. Would it be okay if I placed a link to your blog on our class blog? Our class blog is at the following address: http://millwardb.edublogs.org
Thanks and convey my congratulations to your students.
We would absolutely be honored and will also link you to our blog.
Great work Co-Connections team. We have enjoyed visiting your blog and sharing your learning. I hope you will continue to blog as you do a wonderful job.

Congratulations! I think you’ve done really well with your blog, particularly as it’s still fairly new. I think that’s an important message to classes and teachers who haven’t yet started blogging – it’s never too late!!
I have really enjoyed our clas blog this year and I hope to continue blogging with my new class (we finish this term at the end of June and start a new session in Augist).
Congratulations once again.
Mrs C
