Include your grade level, content area, and your rationale as to why a blog is a good tool for the instructional context.
I am a high school math teacher. I am open to the idea of a classroom blog simply because I believe in offering students every opportunity to succeed. If a blog is what they will respond to, I am on board.
Post an idea for how you might use a blog in your classroom.
I am new to this, and especially since there are not enough hours in the day as it is, I would start simple. I already plan out my lessons and homework a chapter at a time, so I could easily paste this up on my blog. Eventually I would start posting the days notes, also easily done with my smart board.
What purpose would the blog serve? The blog would help absent students, parents, pre-planned absence preparation, tutors, special services, counselors, and struggling students. Having the notes, assignments, and objects posted in one place will help allow everyone to get on the same page
Is it a place for students to interact about content? Is it a showcase for their work? In the beginning, students would not interact. I could see after some time, it morphing into more. I suppose the students could take it wherever they wanted.
How does using a blog enhance the lesson? This blog enhances the lesson by allowing students one more option to review, stay caught up, and prepare for lessons.
