Welcome Weblings!

Over the weekend I began an upgrade to Marchionda.org’s software that runs the site. This upgrade allows for students in my class to have their own mini site off of mine with a domain name of firstnamelastinitial.marchionda.org. Last year some students really got into making a site and running their own online journal. If you would like your child to have a site for the rest of the year, click here, or in the side bar where it says “register”. Follow the on screen directions and you are all set. All posts will be seen by me. The kids know that they are to write about anything in school or any interests they have. Pictures and movies can also be posted, too. I do reserve the right to edit and delete any content I feel is inappropriate.

In the past students have used their sites to publish their writing from class or do any creative writing that interests them. Some students have used their site as a way to communicate about what we did in school or as a review of content in science and social studies. Some students have used their site to practice spelling words. Which ever way a student chooses to use a site, it will be honored in class.

You will be asked to create a username. I have asked that all student use their first name and the first letter (only) of their last name. For example I would be “roccom” without the quotes. Other than that, all you would need is an email address to verify that you registered for the site to be created. Enjoy! (and remember, I see all posts! )

If you have any questions, please email me.

Here is the work for the day:
