POST ASSIGNMENT - Research educational uses for blogs and create your first post from your findings.
Blogs can be used for various purposes in the technology age of today. Most of the sites I have used for research contain blogs for teachers to share and collaborate on ideas for educational purposes whether in the classroom or planning.
Teachers can create blogs for feedbacks from the students outside school hours or during class time. The students can utilize the blog as an exit strip from the lesson in a technology based classroom. The blog can also serve as brainstorming for assignments with individual students or a group working on a project. The blogs can be used to reach other classrooms around the world giving students a chance to interact and enrich their lives through conversations.
Our principal used the blog as a book study last year. As we read a text we were guided with questions and asked to reflect on our readings as well as our peer findings. Unfortunately teachers used our contract time as limiting the idea of the blog and we really were unable to produce the good intentions that were sought.
Sad to hear about the flop for the blog your principal started - at least you have administrators trying to lead the way. Green! Like your theme. Vandy
