Classroom Blogging

A classroom blog has the potential not only to be useful to the teacher, but to the students as well. I as the teacher can use my blog to keep the students and parents updated on current assignments, classroom happenings, and other relevant information for our class. My students could also have their own blogs, and create posts involving their learning and research in different subjects such as science, Spanish, art, social studies, and more. The possibilities are endless. Students can also post finished projects for their parents, teachers, and peers to see. Blogs can be used differently than Word documents because they offer a much bigger audience, and are much more interactive; students can comment and initiate discussions on each other’s blogs that they cannot easily do on paper. Blogs also give the opportunity to post pictures, videos, and live links onto them which take readers directly to the source of information. Blogs can be an amazing asset in the classroom.
