Welcome to the big bad world of blogging!

Hello everyone and welcome to our classroom blog. This blog will serve as a weekly online journal entry. It will be a way to earn points for Language Arts class but SO much more. It will be a way for you to get your voice out there! Every week there will be a discussion topic/question posted by yours truly and it will be your job to respond. Your response may be in direct relation to the topic or may be a comment about another student's response. The topics will vary but your job will remain the same. Respond to the topic in as much detail as you find necessary and in as genuine a matter as possible!

In order to receive the credit you justly deserve, when you post make sure your full name is listed.
Happy Blogging.

Blog #1 of TRI 3- 3/21-3/25

BLOCK 1/2 ONLY

I spent a great deal of the weekend thinking about the Internet Assembly. We have this assembly every year and every year it makes me think. I, as a mom, think about what the world will be like for my boys when they are in middle school. The tech and internet becomes crazier every day and I wonder how this will affect them. It scares me. I know that when I was a kid cyber bullying didn't exist, kids instead bullied through paper notes or by simply spreading word-of-mouth rumors.  What has remained the same is the cruelty. I wonder why people are still cruel and why this stuff still exists. What I do know is that you can make the change. Think back to the Rachel's Challenge Assembly- and starting a chain reaction of kindness. 

For this blogpost- I want you to answer two questions:

1. What did the Internet assembly make you think about, or what surprising thing did you learn?
2. What can you do, name one specific thing, to change things or make a difference? (Think bullying, facebook, sexting, etc..)
