A Blog on Blogs!

There are lots of ways to share information online, and many can be useful to help students share what they are learning.

Blogs, like this one, can be used to share information so that we as teachers don’t have to reinvent the wheel when looking for new ideas for lessons, documents, etc. 

They can also be used by our students as a way to express themselves creatively.  Students can post to a blog without fear that their work will be changed in any way.  Other students or teachers can comment on the blog posts so it can be a method for peer review of written work or ideas.

Class blogs are a great way to keep parents and students up to date with what’s going on in the class.  Homework assignments, class activities and even info on lessons can be shared on the blog so everyone can know what’s going on.  Parents can subscribe to the blog so they can see when every time it is updated.


There are so many ideas for using blogs in education, I’m sure I’ve only scratched the surface.  Use your imagination!
