Blogging--In the Classroom and Out

Blogging is intriguing to me, but is also new and something I have to work at to include in my teaching and life. I have used it successfully, but wish to incorporate it even more next school year. I know I will continute to use it in psychology and already am formulating plans to increase the amount that I use it. I also am planning to have my students (in the English IV class I will be teaching for next fall. Got to love those new preps!! LOL) do their journal writing on blogs...I haven't decided what format, hosting site, etc. yet.

I hope that you learned a little and enjoyed the opportunity to practice blogging. What are you reactions to blogs (before today and/or today)? What do you think you will be using them for? What did you think of the presentation and the opportunity to give this a try?

  • I'm glad I had this chance to be introduced to the world of blogging! Thanks for the overview and for your patience in walking me through the steps of the on-line process as I was learning today. It was important to me to update my technology knowledge--you're definitely not cool if you don't know how to blog! :) I can see possibilities for communicating with the parents of my students via blogging, and I really like the idea of showcasing students' artwork too!

  • With permission from our tech administrator, I would like my Spanish students to respond to my prompts (in Spanish) via a blog. These online journals would be more interesting to them than traditional paper and pencil ones.
