Tips On Blogging With Students | The Edublogger - 0 views

I have found edublogs so user friendly for my students and my parents. I use virtual participation for my incredibly shy students or for students that just want to extend the conversation. I was very surprised how many students blogged for the sake of wanting to participate in an intelligent conversation.

Taylor Ward on 25 Sep 10I really like the idea of virtual participation, not just for the students, but for the parents also. In the virtual age we live in, how great would it be for a parent to be able to log onto the class blog to keep up with news!

Shannon Roland on 27 Sep 10I believe that blogs would be a good resource to use for students who are shy. It allows them to speak publicly about their opinions, but not everyone will know who they are if they don't use their real name, which should minimize their hesitation to speak their mind.

This is a great idea for students who are nervous or shy to participate. I know a lot of students often will not share with the teacher or peers because they are shy or nervous to get the wrong answer. Here the teacher is able to evaulate the students understanding of the curriculm and students can share with their peers without feeling the pressure.

The feedback I have been getting from my students about our classroom blog has been excellent. Students enjoy making comments on the blog and some of the parents of these 17-18 year old students enjoy reading them. These students who need extra support and are often reluctant to put pen to paper are quite willing to post comments on the blog. Their fingers just fly over the keys. It’s amazing. They also like the fact that I put some security on the blog- first names only, no search engine access and moderated comments.

I've started to notice even in college that student's love to use the computer to put in their feedback to something. I think students love to type rather then pulling out a pencil and writing it down on paper. This is great for students because it allows them to do something different from the regular classroom. It allows them to use technology instead of the old fashion way of doing things! I love the fact that the this teacher has put some security on the blog because along with the students, teachers, and parents, we want everyone to feel safe when blogging.
