Blogging can be an authentic learning tool for today’s classroom

 

Blogging in the classroom can have numerous benefits depending on how you use your blog. Just some include that:

·        Instructors can create a blog about class happenings so parents can stay up to date and students can access announcements from anywhere

·        Teachers can use their blogs to store lessons online or provide supplemental learning materials to students

·        Instructors can use blogs to organize assignments, such as posting them online for absent students or listing due dates so all students have access to the course materials from anywhere

 

Blogs may bring up the idea that there’s one way to present blogging to students, but there is a myriad of ways educators can use blogs. Just some options include:

·        Personal blogs for teachers

·        Student blogs

·        ePortfolios

·        Platforms for assignments, homework, and announcements

·        Classroom blogs for collaboration and discussion

 

Perhaps the greatest test of publishing content to a blog in the classroom is that numerous teachers are not sure what a blog is, the way to set it up, and how to utilize it in the study hall.

To sum up, I am considering the world of blogging as a creative, fun way to bridge literacy and across the curriculum and cover other learning standards at the same time.
