  • I do recommend having a class blog before moving on to student blogs. A class blog is the ideal avenue for the students to learn about the blogging process. Early in the year we always do a lot of work on quality commenting, creative commons and copyright, internet safety, netiquette, typing, writing styles and more.
  • To earn a blog the students have to… Write quality comments on our class blog on a regular basis. Reply to comments on our class blog regularly. Our class blog is a team effort. Show an interest in others’ blogs (eg. leave some comments on our blogging buddies’ blogs). Demonstrate an understanding of cyber safety and netiquette when writing blog comments and using the internet. Show a general enthusiasm for learning about blogging. Demonstrate support from family. Students will not be chosen for a blog without family support. This isn’t a clear-cut checklist, but more of a guide as to what we’re looking for.
  • The process I followed
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • 1. I asked the students who I thought had earnt their blog if they would like a blog
  • 2. I sent a detailed email to the students’ parents explaining how the blog will work, responsibilities and support
  • K Morris sample blog permission 2011
  • 4. I sat down with the students and discussed their ideas for their blog. We talked about what they think they will post about and how often they will post. We also revised cyber safety tips and discussed what is and is not appropriate to post online
  • 5. The students stayed in for a couple of lunch times to get started on their blogs
  • 6. I typed and laminated a document with all the information the students needed to keep at home and school.
  • 7. The students who start blogging first are always great mentors to the students who start blogging later in the year
  • 8. After the initial set up sessions, the students just tended to ask me questions as they arose and we often had a “blogging club” one lunchtime a week

    Awesome ideas and procedures for setting up student blogs. Very worth the read. I encourage you to ask Kathleen questions if you have any. She's awesome, and will answer any questions you have.

  • Reading, responding, assessing and monitoring our students’ progress on their blog requires pedagogical commitment. It is a commitment to student learning and quality work, not a commitment to using a specific technology platform. My guiding questions for QUALITY blogging are: How do teachers recognize different levels of quality? How can assessment for student blogging look like?
