At the Teacher's Desk: Blogging Isn't the Answer to Your Students' Writing Needs - 2 views

  • for teaching writing, blogging isn't the best choice. Your students will learn much more and be less likely personalize their mistakes if you have those conversations face to face. Where blogging shines is through the ideas shared and the conversations created by posting online.

He had written a little bit of the guide and put it online – when he started getting e-mails saying how much other players liked it, were using it and asking when he was going to complete it.
  • Part of what makes the online environment so powerful, as Prof. Lunsford says, is that it provides a sense of purpose: “[Students are] writing things that have an impact on the world – that other people are reading and responding to.
