Why Blog?

After talking with your neighbor(s), collaborative post a summary of your conversation surrounding blogging in the classroom. Only one person from your group should post your summary.

Below are some questions to guide your conversation.
  • What benefit does blogging give our students, and/ or ourselves? 
  • What opportunities does blogging afford our students? 
  • What skills can be developed? 
  • What can they learn about digital citizenship?

  2. The benefits include being more accessible to students today who are more tech savvy than ever before. Blogging offers the ability to personalize sites. Various skills like grammar, the writing process, and formal vs. informal writing can be developed through blogging. Students can learn about other opinions and develop higher-level thinking. Students would also learn responsibility when publishing content online. Whatever goes on the internet stays there.
