Today we are asked to look at Mrs. Yolis' classroom blog. We were asked to look at all her links,  explore and understand how she uses her blog, how she involves students and parents and so on. This is a great blog to view. Mrs. Yolis has many creative and educational aspects in her blog. To begin with, Mrs. Yolis is in her twenty fifth year of teaching, and she currently teaches the third grade. She has a very neat and interesting biography of herself. This is the link http://yollisclassblog.blogspot.com/p/meet-mrs-yollis.html. In it she mentions that she loves to travel in her spare time. Recently she has been to, Hawaii, Oregon, Alaska, Washington, Montana, and many other places. I love to travel also! In the biography you also learn that she taught English in Spain for three summers. I thought that was very cool. When you are done reading her biography, you can click on the link,   http://yollisclassblog.blogspot.com/p/meet-bloggers.html to meet the bloggers. This part of her blog shows the class of eleven girls and eleven boys. It also shares the favorite sports, and some hobbies of the class. There is a great picture of the class also. Another link she has is http://yollisclassblog.blogspot.com/p/learn-about-california.html. This link shares some interesting facts about California, where she teaches.  On Mrs. Yolis' ClustrMap, she has 75, 699 visitors from around the world sine January of 2010. To compare the EDM 310 class blog has 51,308 visitors from around the world since January of 2010. This is a very close comparison! Mrs. Yolis' class blog is also the first runner up of the 2010 EDUBLOG Awards, for Best Class Blog, the winner of the 2010 Life Time Achievement Award, and the First Runner Up to the Best Class Blog! This is a great blog for any teacher or student to view. I enjoyed it very much.
