__Participating Class/Students__ Kathleen Benjamin's students (the inlcusion classroom) participated in Blog's throughout the school year.

__Blog Project Outline__ Students completed the Scott Foresman reading series "Look Back and Write" by responding to a blog on the teacher website.

__Blog Outcome and Self Reflection__ This took longer than planned due to the fact that 2nd graders have not taken any keyboarding classes. The students completed the organzier ahead of time to gather their thoughts in a logical and sequential order. They then used the organizer to type out their repsonses.

__Participating Class/Students__ Kathleen Benjamin's students (the inclusion classroom) participated in podacsting accompnied by illustration.

__Podcast Project Outline__ The students independently wrote a paragraph during their writing center about pumpkins. They created a podcast in the computer lab and recorded their story. The podcast was accompnied by illustrations that they created about their story.

__Podcast Outcome and Self Reflection__ The students loved this project! We had them playing during open house so that the students could be proud of their creation. The parents loved them too! The computer programs were very child friendly which made the experience enjoyable for the children (and the teachers!).
