Blanchard Buzz is a new way to connect the Blanchard community. The format will be a mix of text, pictures, video, and slide shows showcasing the events happening at Blanchard Memorial School in a more timely manner, rather than waiting to write about the event or curriculum in the traditional monthly format of the Blanchard Bits. In addition, there was some confusion about the Blanchard Bits published by the faculty rather than the PTF. By creating a separate blog from the PTF, I hope to eliminate any confusion. The intent of the blog is to help parents and children talk about the events happening around the school and see pictures of students learning (for those who have given permission). Nothing would make me happier than to hear that the Blanchard Buzz is providing good conversations in the car or at the kitchen table.
Please let me know if the Blanchard Buzz is useful to you. I welcome your comments and feedback, so please feel free to tell me what is on your mind. However, it is important to establish good digital citizenship and to provide a role model for our students in how to blog responsibly. Since this is a blog for the school community, I will refrain from publishing any comment that seems inappropriate for the audience as well as any completely anonymous comments (first name and last initial will be fine).
I am excited to join the Blanchard blogging community and hope you are too.
