That's right...you heard me! And it's one of my favorite activities all year long. Paper Blogs. I use them to introduce my seventh graders to the idea of blogging and, more importantly, commenting.
So you have heard about blogging with your students and you are considering taking the plunge but just not sure what or how to do it? I am here to tell you; blogging with my students has been one of the most enriching educational experiences we have had this year, and that says a lot. So to get you started, here is what I have learned:
"This blog is for elementary students to share their comments. There will be a new post every Monday. Students are encouraged to write often and as much as they wish in response to the post." Blog created by Sue Sheffer, "retired" technology integrator from Central York School District.
AN 8th grade teacher asked his students: "How has writing for a world wide audience changed the way you write?" This blog post contains the list of responses.
Here you will find the Top 10 Language Blogs in the category 'Language Technology'. This category is for blogs discussing technology as part of the language learning process.
Blogs offer an excellent way for communities to come together over a common interest despite physical location. Educators can take advantage of this shared pool of knowledge to find inspiration, enhance their teaching, and help students learn more. The following blog posts come from a variety of bloggers sharing their passion and insight.
