Dealing with student blogs at the end of the school year! | The Edublogger - 1 views

I want my students to be able to look back on the work they completed several or many years ago. Students are proud of their blogs and as such the blogs should be allowed to stay.

Haley J on 26 Sep 10I agree with this statement. Now that I am about to start teaching I wish I would have saved more of my work that I did in school. In the past year I have been saving my work and I am very proud of the assignments that I have finished and done well on. I want to be able to look back at it and remember what was going on in my head at that time and what thoughts and concerns I had while doing that assignment. By saving and looking back on your blogs students will be able to do all of these things!

I have encouraged my students to use their blogs as eportfolios. Just like journals and diaries,

I agree, blogging is a more comfortable way to share opinions, comments, and thoughts. We often second guess ourselves when having to speak aloud. Also having it on paper makes it accessable and convinent to look back on past thoughts, and specifically for me, I can look back on blogs for ideas in the classroom.

Encourage them to start their own blog and delete the blog they were using for school.

But, what I really love, is that I am able to use the old comments to teach my new students *how* to comment. Already, many of my third graders are commenting on our blog and what they are writing is very good!

I like this idea because 3rd graders are still concrete learners and they would probably benefit from seeing previous comments and how they are set up in order to understand how to correctly comment on a blog.

It is good to keep old blogs from previous years. It gives students a better sense of what to do and give them more ideas about what to blog about.
