Week 2- Blogs

There are many ways that you can use blogging in your classroom.  You can have you students use it as a journal if they set up their own blog.  By having each child set up their own blog you can keep track of them and the teacher or the students could all be able to read it.

You could also use blogs in your curriculum many different ways.  I think the ideas will come more when you have  an actual subject you are working on, but I think I would use blogs when I do book clubs in class. I could set up each different book club on their own blog and then ask questions there for the students to all answer. This way there could be a good discussion going in each of the book clubs.

As a teacher, I would also have a class blog. I could put what is going on in the classroom on the blog and then give access to all of the parents to check out the blog to see what we are up to in the classroom! It would be a great way to communicate with my students and their parents. I think one of the things blogging does is help promote communication.
