Welcome to the Carver AIG BlogPortal!
Our Classroom BlogPortal consists of two layers. This is the first layer. On our homepage students will find other students entries as well as news and assignments from the teacher.
The second layer consists of all the individual blogs of students focusing on the theory and practice of "Connective Writing" as explained by Will Richardson, author of Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms. To gain a better understanding of the theory and ultimate goal of Connectivism, watch the video The Networked Student by Wendy Dexler.
In additon to the blog, check-out our book discussions on the multimedia slide show Voice Thread!
The Pearl
The Clay Marble
The Witch of Blackbird Pond
For a quick link to individual student booktalks, view our list in Diigo.
