Do Now (9:14-9:30):
In going through your responses as to why blogging might be a worthwhile independent project in journalism class many of you responded that blogs would give your voices a platform from which to be heard and that blogs would be a means for creating an informed school community. Although I was generally pleased with these responses (and others), it seems to me that I have given you a stifling amount of freedom in terms of content (what it is you are writing about) on your blogs.
Today’s assignment asks that you do three things: first, post a comment here (to my blog post) describing your experiences with blogger thus far (you may discuss frustrations, as well as your successes); next before posting your comment think about the second part of my opening statement, “creating an informed school community.” What is meant by this? In your response I would like you to introduce one of the following questions:
Why are class elections and a strong student council important?
How have uniforms affected morale and shaped school climate here at Metropolitan Business Academy in 2011-2012?
Why I am a part of, and why you should be a part of MBA’s community of learning?
In your comment embed a link to your own post that addresses one of these topics.
Class Work:
A. Draft and publish post that centers around question raised in Do Now (9:30-9:50).B. Go back to bigblockflix.blogspot.com and read peer comments (9:50-10:00).
C. Follow link from at least one peer comment to blog post. Read post and leave a comment (I am looking for something that adds to the conversation and builds community (not a simple, "Hey, what's up?"). (10:00-10:15)
D. Either respond to peer comment on your post directly or revise your post to reflect comments (10:15-10:39).

-- My Experiences W| Blogger So Far Are Good. I Like The Fact That As A Teenager I Have A Voice And Nothing I Type Is Wrong Or Is Being Judged. I Think That Having A Strong Student Body Or Student Council Is Important Because We Need To Create A Positve Enviorment And Have Teens Stand For Our Belifs To Raise Money And Set Examples For The Younger Grades .
My experiences with blogger have been good so far, i think its a good way to state how we feel and we can relate to each other through each others blogs , I think having a strong student council is a good thing because it can help keep students united. Unuiforms help the students by who will not be judged by what you are wearing.
So far with blogger, my experiences have been good. It's a good way, jotting down feelings and ideas to my blog, to get things off my chest. At first, I didn't really see the point of having one, but now it seems like it might be a good idea to keep up with it.
@http://kellykorolyshun.blogspot.com/. I Agree W|You On Why Having A Strong Student Council Is A Good Thing. At Metro We Need Some Way To Keep Kids United. Besides FaceBook , Twitter And The Local Gossip In School.
My experience with blogger is okay..it gives us a chance to express how we feel & what were thinking with our friends & people we follow. It also gives us a chance to see how others are. Just like tumblr
My experience with Blogger is straight. Its a place where you can speak your own mind on whatever you want.
My experiences with blogger is good. I like how I can post anything I want and share that with people that follow me. A strong student council is very important. The past 2 years our student council has been a fail and we need to fix that this year. The student council has to also connect with the students in the class. They have to be united.

Blogger is a decent website, I enjoy using it because you can be open minded and get comments back from many different people.
Student Council is important in schools because it lets the children shape their community and make decisions. That way they have a say in what changes in their school. The uniforms that were put in effect this year have hurt students more than help them. Many kids are kept in ISS (In School Suspension) or taken out of class so administrators can give them the right clothes. Although students should adhere to dress code many kids still believe that we should be able to dress business casual word.

Blogger is an Good Websitee & it is very Cool for Students & others that like top post BLOG'S ♥ CLASSWORK !
I like Blogger.com, my only complaint is that it's not the most reliable website I've used for this type of work. A strong student council is important to give advice, help other students/staff, and to let everyone know about events, fundraisers, etc. in the school. To read one of my blogs, click the link below.
