"Thing 1"

In my "past life" as a middle school teacher, I used blogging in my mathematics classroom, mainly for students to get excited about mandatory math journals. When I became the librarian in that school, my book club students blogged regularly and I used Edmodo with my research classes (which has elements similar to a class blog)  Last year, I changed districts and grade levels. I am now working with k-5 students, and I could not seem to wrap my head around how to apply these concepts with younger students. I loved the digital portfolio idea- that would be great to implement with kindergarten students and continue in following years. I am interested to see if any of the kid-centered platforms are blocked by our we filters, and if they are iPad friendly or require flash player. Now that I read through the information, I know where to start!
