Why Blogging? The benefits of blogging with students are quite numerous. It is a great platform for teaching online ethics, internet safety, and the responsible role of a digital citizen. Blogging is also a good tool for reinforcing digital copyright laws, to practice writing for an audience, and to get some extra typing practice. Many teachers also like it as a way to collaborate with other classes and often use it for extra motivation with writing tasks. So, there really are lots of worthwhile reasons to start blogging with your students, and the following sites are great places to get started

"Want a truly organized classroom? Set up a graphic organizer folder system. Print out one of each of these organizers and make a folder for each organizer. Make enough copies of each organizer for your entire class, with a few extras, and put them in the folders. Have your folders in an easy-to-reach place, so when you are teaching a lesson that lends it's self to a Ven Diagram, you have them on hand! Pass them out to the students and bam-you can help your students organize their thoughts on the fly!"

"Here's how it works. The instructor attaches a blank piece of paper to the back of every exam. Students may write on that sheet any exam questions they couldn't answer or weren't sure they answered correctly. Students then take this piece of paper with them and look up the correct answers. They can use any resource at their disposal short of asking the instructor. At the start of the next class session, they turn in their set of corrected answers which the instructor re-attaches to their original exam. Both sets of answers are graded. If students missed the question on the exam but answered it correctly on the attached sheet, half the credit lost for the wrong answer is recovered."
