Blogs are great tools for practicing writing and excellent resources for classrooms. Kids get excited about blogging because they can express themselves creatively. I am new to blogging and created one once before for a course but never posted after that. I set up a blog roll on this blog so you can see some of my favorite blogs. I have not used blogs with students yet but would like to start using them to practice creative and persuasive writing, and the peer review process.
The best thing about blogs and what is great about them for student use is that they are a form
of personal expression. This is why I find it challenging for myself
because I am shy at personal expression, however I like that they are forcing me to express myself.
Funny
when I asked my son about some different names of a blog, he would say
"No, mom. That's not a good name, who would search that." I thought it was
interesting that he knew intuitively growing up in a digital world that if
you want to be effective publishing content on the web then make sure the search engine will find it.
