In the article, How To Use Blogs In The Classroom, it
discusses how blogging may be a great educational tool by giving students
freedom to publish content on the web. Blogs are not effective if they are not
properly implemented into the classroom. Since the onset of Common Core
Standards and The No Child Left Behind Act, all educators are required to teach
literacy. Getting students to write can
sometimes be difficult. Blog writing can help take the pressure off writing.
Blog writing is informal and allows the students to have a voice in a safe
environment.
Teachers should choose the blogging platform. As the teacher, you need to develop clear goals, guidelines, and expectations for you and your students. Blogging can be used across the curriculum for all subjects. It is important to start small. Focus on one topic and allow the students to post within one subject, under your supervision. Not only does blogging take commitment, but also it is important to stay consistent to keep student interest at an incline. Blogging will also be beneficial in helping students to practice their computer skills for future careers.
