How can I use a Blog In a Classroom?

Using a blog in the classroom!

As a teacher, a blog can be used in the classroom to communicate and build the teacher; student; parent relationship for the betterment of the student.

A classroom blog to develop literacy skills – it is the ideal space for me as a teacher to connect with the students and to improve their reading and writing skills.  Post a writing assignment on the blog – for example, giving students an instruction to write on a topic. Students can post their responses as comments.  This will give students the opportunity to interact more outside the classroom. I can, in turn, comment on their work, either giving commendation, or offering suggestions, or making corrections.  Learners could learn from reading each other’s written work.

Another way a BLOG can be used within the classroom is as an electronic notice board.  Every time I want to inform students and Parents about something, I can just post it to the blog.  These announcements may include homework assignments, handouts, lesson notes, reminders of forthcoming tests and examinations, reminders of due dates for handing in assignments, useful tips for learning, or any other snippet that you may want to share with your class.
