I just read an article about blogging and how teachers are implementing blogs as a way to enhance classroom instruction. Blogging has become a popular method of online communication. Many blogs are created in a format similar to a journal and figures show that a new blog is created every second.
Using blogs in the classroom is just another way to engage students in learning. They are a great way to keep the parents up to date on what is happening in the classroom and the are an excellent tool that teachers can use to have their students reflect on their learning and practice their writing skills. They can also create a sense of community by allowing the members of the class to share their thoughts and feelings through discussion.
When submitting information online it is always important to discuss privacy and protection with your students. It is important that students learn how to use technology in a safe and appropriate manner. When using blogging as a method of classroom instruction students are not only sharing their thoughts and feelings in a discussion/journal format they are also learning the importance of cybersafety.
