Blog in our Teaching

Today me and Eeva started the last week of our teaching in Hei Suomi! -program at the South Range Elementary School. So far this has been so great and I'm feeling happy and proud of being part of this trial.

In our teaching, the use of information and communication techonologies has been my speciality as a media education student. The biggest thing has been the 3rd grader's own blog about this program. There they keep track of things they have been learning every day in the "Finnish class". Many of the children have the Finnish heritage and the blog opens a window for also parents and grandparents to be part of this program. The blog can start discussions about Finland and strenghten the feeling of the heritage.

Writing a blog is also might also have student's engaged in studying and surely it's nice practice for their spelling and typing.

The blog can be seen in this address: http://heisuomi-sres.blogspot.com/
