Třídní blog: Blogging has opened up our classroom to communications with students and teachers around the world. Studentský blog: Blogging is a great way to teach writing skills while also allowing students to see the power of a global audience. It is a wonderful motivator and such an easy transition in your classroom since you have students write anyway. it is also a wonderful way to teach citizenship skills since they need to learn what is and isn't appropriate to "put out there" in a professional setting as well as how to leave comments for others. It is also a tool that can be modified for every grade level. I encourage all our teachers to incorporate blogging and slowly they are. Tipy: For blogging to truly work in your classroom, it must become part of your daily or weekly literacy program. Just giving your situdents their own blogs will not turn them into bloggers. You must offer authentic reasons to blog, such a reflective journals for Passion Projects. It's all about commenting. The students who make an effort to find other student blogs that interest them and make thoughtful comments get the most traffic on their own blogs. Those who don't, get few visits-no matter how catchy their title, flashy their theme or wonderful their writing.
