ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing all the ways you have incorporated the blog assignments into your class time.
ReplyDeleteI want to use a blog with our council listserv.
ReplyDeleteI want to have the children post about our daily learning, writing and reading responses, and math explanations.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
