Viktor's Reflection Post

This quarter of blogging has been the most fun one so far. We had to do one comment per week, which I think was very good because we had to check the blog regularly. Blogging is an excellent use of technology in school, because it keeps us up to date with homework and it reminds us of what we did in class. I hope we continue to do it next year. I had one problem with Blogger though - it was very hard to move around the pictures and make them bigger and smaller. My favorite quarter of blogging this year was the 3rd quarter, because we had to do only minor comments and making the Scribe Posts was easier.

All in all, I think that we should do blogging for all subjects, or we should have a complete 7th grade blog - the same one for all subjects.

My Blogging Experience (4th Quarter)

This quarter blogging was one of our top science priorities. There were a lot of things that were different from the previous blogging. We had a lot to learn and write about this quarter. I like blogging and I think it's useful to all students, even though some might not agree. Like in the previous blogs we had to comment on different blogs. All together we had to make 8 comments. Three for 8th grade three for 7th grade and 2 for 6th grade. It was 6th grades first try at blogging and they did a really good job. We also had to make a comment every Friday. Which I think was helpful because then you could see what was for homework. But also to review the things that we might of missed or to review for a quest. Overall I really liked blogging this quarter.

Hey everyone!
Thanks once again for a great 4th quarter blogging!
It was even better this time because we've all become blogging masters.
I liked blogging because I was sick for a couple of science classes and the blog helped me in catching up. I'm glad we're doing it again next year. Sometimes blogging was challenging. For example, when posting comments, I found it hard to include science in my writing. I liked blogging more this quarter because we could comment on the 6th grade blog as well and it was fun to find out what they're doing. Also, I learned a lot from reading the scribe posts on the 8th grade blog, and am looking forward to doing it next year. I also enjoyed blogging because a lot of people included videos and pictures that were helpful. Some of the information on our blog helped when studying for the science quest, and some of the reminders were useful as well. Sometimes, when I hadn't brought in my organizer, I checked the blog for help. Overall, I'm glad we came up with the idea of a blog!

Hi,
The 4th Quarter Blogging was, in my opinion, a little bit worst than the precedent Blogging projects. I think so because I didn't like the idea of having each comment due every Friday. For me, at least, it was easy to forget a comment was due, and if I wrote one in advance, it was confusing to remember if I did it that, this or whatever week. Yes, I think this was a good use of technology for our class, but mainly because it is all on the computer. Anyways, I would love to keep blogging next year, still being able to comment on both 6th and 8th grade blogs. I think it is very smart and essential that we keep blogging because if someone is absent this blog would help very much.

Heart Dissection

Hello 7th Grade!


On Thursday 27th we dissected hearts.
There were three kinds of hearts:

• Calf's heart
• Cow's heart
• Pig's heart

(Cow's heart)

While dissecting, we had to put a check mark for every heart part we distingued in our organ. Every time we found one we had to call Ms. D. and show it to her. Also, for homework, we had to answer question about the dissection. We were also divided into groups of two or three. This is all.

Blog post,

Today in Science class (the 28th) we prepared our selves foe the dissection of either the cow's, pig's or calf's heart. We, as a class made a model chart about the respiratory system, the digestive system and the nervous system. On our chart we had the three systems and the function and parts of each system in it's own collum. Secondly, we were told that is that time when the quarter ends and we need to make our reflection post for science, also we still need to make our comments to the 6th, 7th and, 8th grade blogs and we will be blogging next year in 8th grade. But for our comments, we are not allowed to comment on other people's reflection post. For homework all that we needed to do was to

1) read the diagrams of the digestive system and of the respiratory system

2) study for the test on Wednesday!

the next scribe has been chosen.

Julia Reflection 4th Quarter

First of all, I would like to say that I enjoyed blogging throughout the last two quarters. I actually liked to write scribe posts and summarize what happened during class. Being able to provide information about class to people, and knowing that they learned at least one fact about Science, made me feel very content about my work. However, I didn't really like using Blogger.com because I have had difficulties with uploading pictures to the blog, but in the end I managed to solve these problems. I found the writing part of the scribe post rather easy, but adjusting the font and color was kind of hard in some aspects. I do think that using technology during class was a wise choice; our blogs could be shared to a huge group of people and we were also being Eco Friendly at the same time. Although some parts of technology didn't come easy for me, I do think blogging was very worthwhile and enjoyable.
