Are you interested in having your students blog?
There are several possible ways of utilizing the power of blogging in a classroom context.
- Teacher communications – using a blog to communicate school or class news with students and their parents.
- Teacher blogging about their subject – to encourage debate among students (perhaps even encouraging students to engage actively with the content by leaving comments with their opinions).
- Student blogging – either a shared blog to which each student can contribute under their own user profile, or each student has their own blog for sharing their thoughts about a particular subject or subjects.
Want to Blog in your classroom? Reserve an #EMSTECHSPERT today! We will help you get set up and implement blogging within your classroom.
