Examples  So how can using a blog help students learn history? There are limitless ways to use the website, but there are a few strategies that work particularly well in the elementary environment. When first starting a unit, create a "KWL chart" on your blog. Have students blog about what they know, what they want to know, and eventually what they have learned. Students will be able to see other posts and scaffold their learning off the responses of others. As the educator, you can quickly assess, focus, and possibly redirect your unit to meet the specific needs of your students. Have students blog about what they know, what they want to know, and eventually what they have learned. Another way to use Kidblog is to post video or audio clips. After our unit on the early 20th century, students viewed and listened to footage of Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt on Kidblog. Students had to decide who was a better president, and they blogged reasons to support their choices. Knowing that the writing was being presented to classmates encouraged a focus on the published quality.
