Blogging with Pen Pals -- New Directions

Due to a log-in snafu, I had to change the way we access our pen pals' blogs. It is a little more round-about than I was hoping for, but it works! Please read these new directions if you would like to help your child blog with their pen pal at home!

Directions: Have your child click on their blog link on the right side bar of my blog, then sign in with their last name as the password (they are used to doing this part). Now, have your child click the part that says, "Mrs. Kelly's Class," at the very top of the blog. On the new page that pops up, scroll down to where it says "Blogroll" on the right and click the link that says "Mrs. P's Class." When her classroom blog pops up have your child click on his/her pen pal's name to leave comments.

Unfortunately we have to do these extra steps (and it is not as easy as just going to her blog webpage and clicking the partner's name) because the students in our class have to be logged in to Kid Blog in order to read the posts left by the other class. I am teaching the students in our class how to do this so hopefully it will become second nature soon!
