Blogs are a great tool of communication for teachers. There are several different ways a teacher can use a blog in the classroom.
1. Blogs can display information individual unit information. For example the three pages I have created could be used for a unit on the U.S. Civil Rights Movement.
a.The blog could not only include a review of lectures or power-points. It also could provide additional videos and links to journals or additional readings.
b. The blog could also list questions on the subject matter. These questions may be based on the readings or on the lesson. The questions could also be reflective on the subject matter. For example with the Civil Rights unit, one question may ask students to describe how feel after watching footage of the Selma to Montgomery March.
2. Blogs can also contain a schedule on when assignments are due and information about the assignments. This is ideal for students who may miss class due to other school activities or for sports.
3. Blogs can also allow students to provide feedback to the subject matter. Students could ask questions on the blog or make statements on the information that they are viewing.
