My Reflection:

This activity will be a great way for my future students to incorporate technology in the classroom. Students can connect with other students and see their writing in another setting. As students begin to use more and more advanced technology in their daily lives, it is our job, as teachers, to accommodate. This activity may be difficult without guided help for students in the younger grades but should be utilized with assistance. I enjoyed being able to complete this project to the final stage of the writing process; publishing. I know my future classes would really enjoy this activity as well.
