- It seems like a good way to communicate with students about assignments.
- It seems like a good way for students to communicate with each other about subject content and projects they are working on.

I will be interested in seeing how other teachers are using blogging in their classrooms, it should work very well in the business class and may be a good tool for accounting students to gain a better understanding of how accounting works in the real world. This could also be a good way to manage the 20 hour online experience requirement for the Computer Applications I class.
A blog is a great way to have a classroom webpage. Everything is listed in reverse chronological order, so the most recent posts are at the top. And, as you've noticed I'm sure, every post has a date and time associated with it. You can also you the comments as a way to field questions from parents and students, and because you can moderate the comments, nothing will ever get posted without your approval.
ReplyDeleteI have seen math teachers use it as a way to have students write in class. Our students are more adept at writing and editing at a key board then I ever thought of. Each student sets up their own blog. The teacher then organized them with feed raider (I think that's the name) and then checked and read them each time she gave an inclass writing assignment.
