A Look at Integrating Blogging into the K-12 Classroom
Aliens, urban legends, and conspiracy theories intrigue all of us. We can’t help but forward on the email requesting Get-Well cards for the child in England or the offer of $100 from Bill Gates. What is the strangest story you’ve ever heard? How do you check to see if it is real or fake?
A highlight in life is experiencing something for the first time. Here is a picture of a child enjoying the experience and making and eating a S’More for the first time. Please add a comment to this blog of something new that you would like to try this year. Don’t forget to include the important details: Who, What, Where, Why, and When.
Greetings and welcome to the 2006-2007 school year. This site will represent a chronological record of one educator’s attempt to integrate blogging into the classroom. I have attended several conferences and read many blogs extoling the virtues of blogs in education. I hope that by incorporating this blog into lessons I will see an increase in student writing and provide students with a chance to write for an authentic audience.
If you have some suggestions for using blogs in the classroom, please leave a comment. I’d appreciate it if you included your email address in your comment so that I can contact you if I have any questions about your suggestion.
