  2. I would use blogging as a way for my students to blog about guided reading books, independent reading books and also to answer teacher posted questions.

  3. I love the idea of providing students a way to write for an authentic audience, instead of just turning it in to the teacher. I think using blogs to create a timely feedback loop where writers interact with each other (even students from other classes, buildings, districts, states, countries!) can be so powerful for growth and engagement. While I think having student blogs public can allow for some great interactions and learning experiences, I do have some hesitation of letting young students wander into the "digital wilderness." What kind of monitoring or safeguards are there for comments on a student's public blog? Do the rewards of a public blog outweigh the risks?

  6. I want to have the children post about our daily learning, writing and reading responses, and math explanations.

  7. I think it would be great to have post thoughts on topics interested in. I think it's important for students to produce their own content and blogs are a great way to present that. Also, I think it would be great to have students just put what they learned in their own words.
