Internet Workshop and Blog Publishing: Meeting Student (and Teacher) Learning Needs to Achieve Best Practice in 21st Century Social Studies Classroom February 9, 2010

This article does a good job of summing up blogs and all the wonderful ways they can be incorporated into your classroom.  Blogs are a simple way to get your students involved in using technology as a way of expressing themselves and sharing their own thoughts and ideas with others.  Blogs can also be used in a variety of ways, teachers can use them to showcase their students work, students can use them to comment and provide feedback on each other’s work (teachers and parents can comment as well) and it can be used as a tool for keeping parents informed of what is happening in their child’s classroom.  Students also get the chance to work on their writing skills and become more aware of what they are writing with the use of blogs because they know that they are published works that can be viewed by others.  I feel as though blogs make learning more fun and exciting for the students because it’s a different way of doing things.  Blogs are also a great way for students to show their creativity and express themselves.
