Now that you have created your own blog and used it through the previous eight lessons, describe in detail how you will use your blogging skills in your classroom.
Blogging may be a great educational tool that give student's complete freedom tp publish content of the web. If student's don't know how to effectively implement blogs into the classroom, then it's a waste of time to do so. As a teacher, I will use my blogging skills to incorporate good writing skills and to help my students have their own personal voice and opinion by providing a safe environment. This will also help to alleviate student's from stepping out of their comfort zone.
Another idea I would implement in my classroom, would be to publish assignments, resources and keep students and parents up to date on what is happening in our classroom. Organization would be another good source to use when blogging. This will teach students organization skills. Blogging will also teach my students good time management skills. As a teacher, this idea will definitely help me become better prepared when starting my day whether in the classroom or outside of the classroom.
Hi Diana,
ReplyDeleteI like that the blog is part of this class to get Rio students going on a blog. It isn't for everyone, but many students find they like it and will continue using one and use with their students. Blogging could be a good "bell work" for the beginning of class or at the end when there is extra time. Of course the school would need the technology in place to do this!
A blog would be good to use to keep parents up to date too. I also like a class website for this :o)
Thanks,
