Is your principal or vice principal out there in the edublogosphere?

KidsBookBlog – Kids Blogging with Other Kids about Books
The 5th and 6th graders in Mrs. Phillips and Miss Yee’s classes have created a blog about reading. This blog contains student book reviews for over 300 books. You can search by title, author or genre. There are also interactive book clubs that students can join, as well as video summaries, author podcasts and game show templates.

Through the KidsBookBlog project, the students in both classes are taught blog etiquette and Internet safety. When asked what they have learned about Internet safety through their project, students identified Internet safety tips, cyberbullying issues and copyright fair use as key topics. Listen to their recent Internet Safety podcast recorded by 2WebWatchers (click on the blue arrow):

The students have worked very hard to create this blog and would love some visitors. You can check out their KidsBookBlog project at: http://kidsbookblog.edublogs.org.
