You guys handled it all so beautifully. I think our school is going google next year. <br />I will be following your blogs to see what you will be doing next! <br />Mrs. GrosfiekdMarghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02914346992766761696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-34983160101584459322014-05-20T15:47:20.633-07:002014-05-20T15:47:20.633-07:00Hello Mrs. Yollis and class,
What a stunning pres...Hello Mrs. Yollis and class,<br /><br />What a stunning presentation sharing a great deal of important information and advice. I hope soon to be promoting more international blogging in schools near me. Some of the information you have shared will be very useful when I can speak with them. As an example, I love the YAPPY acronym.<br /><br />May has been unusually busy for me with fund raising for my local school (I'm on their Parents and Citizens Association), filming local events (ANZAC Day, a 2 long day biological survey), school filming (Variety Club and a multi-school music camp) and, at the end of the month, an adult choir. It's also the month my main Extended Comments for Students blog turns 2. It was an added highlight to be able to take the time to read your post and see your presentation. <br /><br />I will be posting a photo of the blog's 2nd birthday cake on the day, May 22. Also, some time this year my 200th post will appear. I have learned so much, including through posts written for your school and class. Watch for the May 22 post at http://rossmannellcomments.edublogs.org/ . It will feature two unnamed furry, cuddly little friends (not real).<br /><br />After watching, I checked the top 10 visitor nations to my blog. In order, they were...<br />U.S.A., Australia, Great Britain, Canada, India, Philippines, France, Germany, United Arab Emirates and South Africa<br /><br />We have a large world made small by our blogging in the global classroom.<br /><br />Ross Mannell<br />Teacher (retired), N.S.W., Australiarmannellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325881715643049499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-4840525357083506592014-05-20T14:53:34.922-07:002014-05-20T14:53:34.922-07:00Dear Martin,

I was excited to present at the Google presentation, but while I watched the video with my classmates, we kept on saying, "I don't sound like that!" Mrs. Yollis said that we did sound like that, but in my mind, I just couldn't believe it. :-D <br /><br />Actually, because you were wondering why we were so prepared, it is because we had scripts and we practiced at school. All of us devoted time to this presentation at lunch. <br /><br />It's hard to choose which project I like, but I have to say, I really liked this post because, number one, I was in it, and number two, it was about my favorite hobby, blogging! Which post do you like the best?<br /><br />We all made flags for the giant map, and I did the United States flag, with Dustin, and I also made the easy Chinese flag by myself. My ancestors were from China, so it made sense that I drew the Chinese flag. Did you see our arrows and flags in the background?<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />HannahHannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-4580052789286836092014-05-20T09:17:45.413-07:002014-05-20T09:17:45.413-07:00Dear Ms. Grosfield,

My favorite project of the year was this project! It was very fun to do it. I liked watching Mrs.Yollis screen share and share our presentation about blogging. I also like the questions and answers segment. The project was a superb thing to do, and I was glad to do it.<br /><br /><br />What was your favorite post that Mrs. Yollis has done?<br /><br />Warmly,<br /><br />SteveStevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-89869820492774267892014-05-20T09:05:04.077-07:002014-05-20T09:05:04.077-07:00Dear Mrs. Yollis,

Did any of the students, or you, get nervous? <br /><br /> I think you set everyone in place, but before that, what did you set up? <br /><br />I see in the picture that Steve has a <b>red</b> hat. Wait! That's Mr. Bone's hat! I see that Dustin is holding a hat, and Mary has a drawing of a globe. I can't see what Hannah is holding, but whatever it is it looks <b>fascinating.</b> <br /><br />The <b>terrific</b> Texas Summit was very <b>interesting</b>, and it seems exciting.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Chloe <br /><br />P.S.

Steve was the greeter, and I talked about digital safety. Our studio was set up were we are blogging right now. If you watched the video, we pointed to the top twelve visitors. Steve's flag was United Arab Emirates, and Dustin's was the United States. At the bottom of our comment we will list the top twelve countries that have visited our blog.<br /><br />We will check out your blog on Tuesday, because right now we have school going on. What got you interested in blogging? Was it Mrs. Yollis? <br /><br />Sincerely, <br /><br />Dustin and Steve <br /><br />P.S.

Thank you s...Dear Mrs.Yollis and student bloggers, <br />Thank you so much for spending part of your Saturday teaching us about blogging. I wasn't able to catch it live, so was very happy that I could see it later. <br />I was so impressed with your enthusiasm and knowledge about blogging. My class and I have just started blogging this year so I got lots of great ideas from you. My favourites are the 365 blog and the clrpoems on twitter. Learning about twitter is one of my summer projects this year. <br />Mrs. Yollis, I laughed out loud when you were describing your first year and taking on too much. You could have been describing me! I agree, we learn by doing and I have learned so much this year. The best part of blogging with my class has been the JOY we feel. We are so excited to watch our clustrmap to see where people have been viewing our blog from. It is amazing to read the comments from friends and family around the world. <br />I will be thinking seriously about family blogging months next year. I agree that is so important to get families involved in our learning. <br />Thanks again for all your insights. <br />Marg Grosfield<br />Duchess, Alberta, Canada<br />marg.grosfield@grasslands.ab.ca<br /><br />http://marggrosfield.edublogs.orgMarghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02914346992766761696noreply@blogger.com
