This is an example of how a blog could be used as a student response journal.
How can you use a blog in your classroom? Leave me a comment.

Well, I am not a MS teacher, but I have been putting giveaways on my blog for 2 weeks. I have also set up 10 pages (the limit on blogger) for various "static" pages. I have my calendar that I can update very easily from igoogle. I have several cool links that students can earn extra credit by visiting. Students are entered in the weekly giveaway once for every valuable comment to the blog. It is a new thing, but I hope that soon my students will really be able to run with it.

In order to utilize a blog, I have learned that you have to make some kind of bribe technique. This could include a gift card, or even money.
ReplyDeleteThis is a GREAT idea!

I can see may possibilities for blogging in the reading classroom. We could blog about the novel we are reading in class. We could blog as a particular character from the book. We could use the blog as a character diary. I could see blogging really getting kids interested in books and reading.

This is too cool! I especially liked the screen capture for the smartboard. The editing/revising part of a writing sample will be extremely useful for my writing classes. I also will use resources you have provided so that I can set up my own blog.
ReplyDeleteBlogs are great to keep parents and students updated on what is going on in your classroom. It is especially helpful when a student is absent and needs to find out what they missed.
ReplyDeleteI could definitely blog about what I am reading. And students could also blog about what they are reading and we could have a virtual conversation about books.

Blogs are a great idea. I would enjoy communicating with the students in a format they are comfortable using. This would encourage student participation as well.
ReplyDeleteParents could join in and feel a part also.
