Learn about ENGLISH GRAMMAR and HOW TO WRITE BETTER Mathematics for Teaching Ideas: Using Blogs in the Classroom Blogs are primarily about writing. But within that broad category there are many ways that blogging can be used with students to improve their learning in almost any subject area. Teachers can also use blogs for a variety of purposes. Blogs by students Journals – Many English teachers (and those in other subjects) require their students to write regular journal entries. Book reports, literature circles – Students often are expected to summarize and react to books and other materials they’ve read. Creative writing assignments, short stories, poetry – A blog can be a great way to showcase student writing, again with the options for other students and even parents to comment on the work. Display and discussion of student art work/photography – since pictures, video and audio can be embedded within a blog post, showcasing student work doesn’t have to be limited to their writing. Student portfolios – This is actually a combination of all of the above and more. Teachers can use blogs as well

Teaching With Blogs “It is my impression that no one really likes the new. We are afraid of it. It is not only as Dostoevsky put it that 'taking a new step, uttering a new word is what people fear most.' Even in slight things the experience of the new is rarely without some stirring of foreboding.” --Eric Hoffer, Between The Devil And The Dragon I tried the new in fall 2009, teaching with student blogs, (look in sidebar and scroll down) out in the open where anyone who wanted to could see what the students were producing. The uncertainty about how best to assist the students once they had taken the plunge created an important symmetry between the students and me; we both were to learn about how to do this well, often by first doing it less well. Most of the students were quite awkward in their initial blogging. I'm crustier now than I was as a younger faculty member. A positive feedback loop can be created by this process. Yet there remains one troubling element: student privacy.
