http://anvil.gsu.edu/EduBlogInsights/2004/10/05
You might like to create a reflective, journal type blog to...
- reflect on your teaching experiences.
- keep a log of teacher-training experiences.
- write a description of a specific teaching unit.
- describe what worked for you in the classroom or what didn't work.
- provide some teaching tips for other teachers.
- write about something you learned from another teacher.
- explain teaching insights you gain from what happens in your classes.
- share ideas for teaching activities or language games to use in the classroom.
- provide some how-to's on using specific technology in the class, describing how you used this technology in your own class.
- explore important teaching and learning issues.
You might like to start a class blog to...
- post class-related information such as calendars, events, homework assignments and other pertinent class information.
- post assignments based on literature readings and have students respond on their own weblogs, creating a kind of portfolio of their work.
- communicate with parents if you are teaching elementary school students.
- post prompts for writing.
- provide examples of classwork, vocabulary activities, or grammar games.
- provide online readings for your students to read and react to.
- gather and organize Internet resources for a specific course, providing links to appropriate sites and annotating the links as to what is relevant about them.
- post photos and comment on class activities.
- invite student comments or postings on issues in order to give them a writing voice.
- publish examples of good student writing done in class.
- show case student art, poetry, and creative stories.
- create a dynamic teaching site, posting not only class-related information, but also activities, discussion topics, links to additional information about topics they are studying in class, and readings to inspire learning.
- create a literature circle.
- create an online book club.
- make use of the commenting feature to have students publish messages on topics being used to develop language skills.
- ask students to create their own individual course blogs, where they can post their own ideas, reactions and written work.
- post tasks to carry out project-based learning tasks with students.
- build a class newsletter, using student-written articles and photos they take.
- link your class with another class somewhere else in the world
You can encourage your students (either on your weblog using the comments feature or on their own weblogs)to blog...
- their reactions to thought-provoking questions.
- their reactions to photos you post.
- journal entries.
- results of surveys they carry out as part of a class unit.
- their ideas and opinions about topics discussed in class.
You can have your students create their own weblogs to...
- learn how to blog
- complete class writing assignments.
- create an ongoing portfolio of samples of their writing.
- express their opinions on topics you are studying in class.
- write comments, opinions, or questions on daily news items or issues of interest.
- discuss activities they did in class and tell what they think about them (You, the teacher, can learn a lot this way!).
- write about class topics, using newly-learned vocabulary words and idioms.
- showcase their best writing pieces.
You can also ask your class to create a shared weblog to...
- complete project work in small groups, assigning each group a different task.
- showcase products of project-based learning.
- complete a WebQuest.
