The following are three ways I can use blog in my classroom:
There are so many different ways that blog can be used. I will share 3 ways that can be used more often in class. First, I will post assighnments and activities (like vocabulary word search, cross word puzzle, vocabulary games etc.) for students and parents to check and due at home. This way, there is no excuses "my dog ate my homework". Students will be able to work at home even if they were absent the day of the assignment. Students will have the responsibility and are expected to get their work done with very little excuses.
Secondly, I could use blog to show students other cultural customs through music, movies, and celebrations that are very different from their own. Students will be able to experience the culture of other countries without going there. This will emerse students in the language and they will become more excited about learning.
And third, blog can be use in my class by doing group work, students will have to search for recipes. Put up pictures of their favorite foods and create a recipe book in blog. Students will use blog to create activities for projects and other purposes. draft 12:08:00 PM by Yomaira Prusak Delete

I agree that Blogging is a unique way of opening the world up to students and to allow them to "experience" some of the various cultures that we teach in our classes. There are so many amazing resources available at our fingertips online and the blogging tool allows us to use these resources in a very interactive and satisfying way. Great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI also like the culture idea. The blog could end up being like your own website for the class where you can put up anything you want. It's like a bulletin board, but so many times better.
ReplyDeleteKeeping all of youyr assignments in one place seems like a GREAT way to keep kids organized, especially for younger kids still working on getting their organizatinal skills down. Also, it seems like a great idea to let parents feel like they can find out what's going on with their children. It can offer a place to keep the parent's intuned to what their child is learning and what homework they might need to be working on...
