I have really enjoyed reading my fellow colleagues’ posts about getting to know where they come from and their different hobbies. This clearly shows the uniqueness of students in any given classroom. This is a great idea which our instructor has employed to get us acquainted with each other electronically.
Three ways in which teachers could use blogs in the classroom;

1.Blogs provide a communication space where teachers can post announcements, assignments, homework,calendars,events and other pertinent class information.

2.Teachers can utilize blogs with students to develop writing, share ideas and reflect on work being undertaken in the classroom and extra reading practice for students. Students could read what the teacher has posted on blog or what other students have posted in the same class, or comments posted to a blog by other people.Teachers can use blogs to provide examples of classwork,vocabulary activities or grammer games.

3. Blogs could be used for lesson planning, note taking and file archive.Teachers could keep diaries or journals in the form of a blog, with structured activities related to a specific text that they are reading or using to teach. Teachers could also use blogs for calendars to mark important events that take place like birth days, homework or other class information like lesson plans, weekly and monthly plan.

  1. I really like your ideas for blog use in the classroom. Particularily I like the idea of using blogs as file/lesson archives. By posting lessons, assignments, etc. on a blog, it would make it so easy to go back the net year and find a timeline and the material for what you did on a particular lesson. Great idea!
