It seems that one of the best aspects of blogging is to get students to collaborate and get to know each other better. I have found that students can be very unaware of the other students around them. Often at the end of a school year, students cannot tell you the name of another classmate. Someone they have been in class with all year! Perhaps by adding in a "get to know you" blog at the beginning of the school year would help the students develop a sense of community. If they know and like each other, they will work together and be more productive in the classroom. Students love to take "selfies" so why not incorporate them into the blog? After creating a community within the classroom, the students could then venture onto more curriculum based activities with the blog.
So, here are some of my top pics of the summer! See if you can identify the locations! Have fun :)

I love the idea of a get to know you blog, scavenger hunt, or as you did here, a mystery location that readers guess. Great idea! It makes the blog fun & interactive, and encourages readers to participate and comment.
