Using a blog can be very useful in a classroom. Not only for teachers but for students as well. Blogs can be helpful for student and teacher interaction. I plan to use blogs in my classroom to interact students with different things I might have in mind. If there is a useful website that I would like for the students to look at, I can post it in my blog. Homework can also be done in blogs. Work where students read what other students have in mind and respond to their ideas.
Blogs can also be very helpful for parents of the students in the classroom. I plan to use blogs to be available for my students parents or guardians. This way they can see what assignments their child is working on along with the due dates. Also if they have any questions for me or for other parents, the blog will be a quick and easy way to do that.
I like the idea of posting interesting links for your students in your blog. I am not really sure that this would work too well with younger kids but I think the idea is great and if you have older students who will take things you post and run with them, the concept would be quite effective.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you that links that include any length of text will probably not work with younger students. However, if I do post a link to a game that deals with the subject we are working on then it will work with the younger children.
