Quad Blogging Reflection  Back in January, I made a commitment to: walk the path of Action Research…. to find out if blogging:teachers, who are “actively” learning about and participating in the blogging process (beyond attending a workshop or reading “about” blogging), are setting the stage and building a solid platform for their own ongoing professional development and life long learning?educators, who are blogging with their students, can (are) learn(ing) to teach through a 21st century lens (skills & literacies)?improves students’ writing skills?motivates and engages students?

They also learn the name of the animal and what sounds the giraffe makes. The Florida beta test
