Ways to teachers can use blogs in the classroom:
- Teachers can use blogs to publish assignments, resources, and keep students and even parents up to date on class events, due dates, and content being covered.
- Teachers can also use blogs to help students’ master content and improve their writing skills.
- Students can respond to quotes, online articles, reading assignments etc.
- Instead of an exit ticket, students can blog about the lesson.
- Homework can be submitted in blog form.
- Students can use blogs to publish their writing and educate others on a particular topic.
- Students can also create blogs for the chess club or the yearbook club, the football team or the upcoming school activity.
