Blogs are an amazing form of communication that provide you with opportunities to extend your children's learning. For example, visit Mrs. D's 4th grade class.
So, how can YOU use a blog in your classroom?

I would love to use a blog to post reading recommendations, updates for parents related to what we did in class that week, and general information (links) for parents and students to use related to education.
ReplyDeleteOne way I'd like to use blogging in my classroom is to bring parents up to speed on what is going on in the class at any given time.
ReplyDeleteAnother way I could use blogging is to update podcasts of student presentations ~H.V
I would like to use blogs as a way for my students to communicate with each other about assignments they have completed or that are forth coming. One of the things I would like to teach is American Sign Language and I think blogging would be an ideal way for each student to communicate with one another without using voice. I can see posting short signed stories and vocab lessons etc. I am super excited about all of the opportunites this will bring.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using blogs as a wiki in which, for example, students are asked to go out on the internet and find one piece of information on oxygen and post it as a comment to a class blog, developing a class list of information.
ReplyDeleteI think that using a blog in the classroom would be especially helpful when students are absent. You could have links to websites or articles that you discussed in class. You might have the student(s) read, look, and/or listen to the link and have them post their thoughts and ideas to your blog. Also, you might have the entire class take notes for a certain subject. If you have the Google classnotes attached to your blog, the students that are absent would have the same exact notes as everyone else. ...SMC
ReplyDeleteI would like to use a class blog to highlight on the benefits of a multi-cultural classroom. Each student could write about their own individual cultural heritage and then comment on the wonderful things they have learned about their classmates.
ReplyDeleteDaily blogging rotated through the class would offer students writing, typing and reflective practice and application. One student each day could have the privilege of being the 'blogger.' To maximize the experience for each student, the teacher could assign students to give positive feedback to three blogs a week.
ReplyDeleteI think one way I can implement a blog in my classroom is to post links (math, reading, etc.)for both students and parents to help with both developing skills and family involvement.
ReplyDeleteIn my classroom, I can use our class blog as a tool for a science project. For instance, if we are studying the solar system, I would ask the student to : 1. Fine a photo/picture online of anything they find interesting that
ReplyDeletehas anything to do with the solar system.
2. Write a note explaining why they like the photo and why they
chose that particular photo.
3. Ask one question about their photo that another student can
respond to.
Options are limitless.
This is going to be hard for me in my classroom but I think I'm going to have my absent students blog about the topic they missed during class. I can also blog about what we did for the day for the students that missed.
ReplyDeleteI think that I would use blogs for students to create journals for writing assignments in all kinds of subjects. Also I can see blogs being used to communicate with other students to get feedback on their assignments.
ReplyDeleteI think the blog could be used as a "homework hub". It could engage the students in interactive homework but giving them a place to go to get assignments at home and even post their work.
ReplyDeleteI would love to use this for a geography lesson. Students would import photos of the country assigned from a certain continent. Next they would write a short essay.
ReplyDeleteOne way to use blogging in the elementary school classroom is to use yodio for the speaking and insert pictures. This can be done for a show and tell, a presentation about your hero, and other various activities.
ReplyDeleteField Trip Reflection-One way we can use blogs with the younger kids is to post pictures of a field trip and type in their reflections including what they learned. The blog could be shared with parents, and they could post comments or ask questions within the blog.~JR
