Why do we blog

Blogging is a great tool to use because we can learn how to share our work with the world! If you have just written it in a book then who would read it apart from you and the teacher and maybe our parent if we ever take our book home?
Also if you have your own blog you can learn how to use the computer in a different way, like instead of just searching for things we can learn how to make links like this: www.teamroom8.blogspot.com
we love managing our own blogs because they don't only have to be boring and all just words they can be fun and we can learn how to add lots of little gadgets like fish and a shark and lots and lots more!

Come Join Flora, Ruby, Oliva and Nikki as they become part of a secret book club.
They must finish their first 2 books before they can find out who started the book club,

17/3/11 Why do we blog?

Hi again I would love to tell you why we blog.
We blog to show what we are learning and have learnt,
Because if we have just written it in a book then what is the use? 
Only you, the teacher, and maybe your parents would be able to read it.
So I think that blogging is a great way to show your learning, and it is something you can keep forever, you can share your learning with people all over the world!!!
