I would use a blog in my classroom in order to inform students, parents, fellow teachers and my administration of the happenings in my classroom. Each post could include information such as daily assignments and homework along with what the kids are learning/will be learning, class activities, labs, and field trips. In addition I would make sure the blogs I posted had personality so tha the kids got to know a little bit about me too. : )
How might you use a blog with students?
I like the idea of allowing kids to use blogs to share their learning experiences. One of my fellow "23 Thing-ers" had mentioned how it would allow kids who are shy (who normally may no raise their hand in class) to be able to participate. I, also, think that kids really do love being on the computer. If they can create their very own blog it would get them interested in involvement in the class.
How might they respond to a blog assignment?
I teach sixth grade and I think the kids would enjoy being able to create their own blog. I think they would somewhat relate it to myspace or facebook with a educational spin of course. : )
What concerns do you have about educational blogging?
The amount of participation of students after they leave school. Many students don't have computers at home so, this would limit their participation after school hours. I could remedy this situation for the most part by letting the students add to their blogs during class time in our school computer lab.
