Utilizing the Blog

Educators have a variety of ways to utilize blogs. In the classroom setting, teachers may use daily blogs to allow students to participate in on-line discussions. In doing so, students can be given a variety of guidelines to follow such as correct grammar usage, punctuation, and spelling. Journaling and reflecting can become a part of the daily lives of students. What better motivator could there be? Students love to get on the computer and email or instant message on their phones. The majority have on-line access through smartphones. I will use this strategy for the up and coming school year.
