- Explain how you might apply the blogging tool to your classroom or future classroom.
For example, I will create a blog on cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is a big treat to student safety. The blog can be a place where students can voice their issues, concerns and opinions with the teacher.
Blogs can be also be used journal writing. Students can discuss activities and important events in their lives. I can require that students devote time to blog entries that summarizes their daily or weekly experiences. Students can even use blogs for creative writing.
Wordpress.com is my favorite blog because it is professional, safe and easy to use. However it does not work on Baltimore City Schools Servers. I found kidblog.com and http://edublogs.org/. They were designed specially for educational purposes. These sites can potentially be great web 2.0 tools.
